Description: Sub - Saharan Africa is a land of colourful contrasts and diverse cultures. Despite the destructive influences of colonialism and the slave trade and the lack of early written records Africa has persevered with its powerful tradition of storytelling with tales of its history passed down in songs and stories through the generations. Because of the huge diversity of lifestyles and traditions no real unified mythology exists in Africa but broadly speaking a number of beliefs ideas and themes are shared by African peoples. So this collection offers a selection of descriptions and tales often those recorded faithfully by some of the first to put them to paper tales of the gods creation stories trickster adventures animal fables and stories which amuse and teach from Olukun's Revenge' from the Yoruba people of west Africa to The Story of the Glutton' from the Bantu - speaking peoples of east Africa all brought together with the aim of providing an insight into the boundless and vibrant world of African myth.
