This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein you will find 10 tales from the tiny island archipelago of Zanzibar - “The Spice Islands” of old. Stories like “The Kites and the Crows” – which tells why African Kites always fly away from Crows. The story of “The Ape, The Snake, And The Lion” which tells of poor ’Mvoo Laana, Neeo’ka the snake and Sim’ba the lion, and how ‘Mvoo gains riches for sparing the snake’s life teaching him the lessons of trust, kindness and loyalty. You will also find the stories of “Goso, the Teacher”, “Haamdaanee”, “The Magician and the Sultan’s Son” and many more. But why should such a small island have such a rich heritage of folklore? As far back as the 3rd C. Zanzibar was known to the Greeks and Romans. Later it was used by the Persians, Arabs, and Indians for trade and as a base for voyages between the Middle East, India, and Africa. Vasco da Gama's visit in 1498 marked the beginning of European influence. In 1698, Zanzibar fell under the control of the Sultanate of Oman and in the 1830’s Said bin Sultan moved his capital from Muscat to Zanzibar. In the 1800’s the Sultanate consolidated power around Ivory and the East African slave trade. In the mid-19th century as many as 50,000, mainly Negro, slaves passed annually through the port enroute to Arabia, Asia, Europe and the USA. The Zanzibar slave trade was finally abolished in 1873. After gaining independence from Britain in 1964, Zanzibar merged with mainland Tanganyika to form the modern nation of Tanzania. So, it is not surprising that this small island archipelago, just off the coast of Africa, should have such a rich and varied tapestry of culture and folklore. Herein you will find 10 tales from the tiny island archipelago of Zanzibar - “The Spice Islands” of old.

Download or read book OUTA KAREL S STORIES 15 South African Folk and Fairy Tales written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein are 15 stories and tales from the Southern most tip of Africa narrated by Outa Karel (Old Charles). Translated and retold by Sanni Metelerkamp, she commences the narration with a description of “The Place and the People” which is a story in itself and sets the tone and background to the whole book. A common theme throught is the Trickster Jackal, not too dissimilar to the role played by the Coyote in American Indian tales and Anansi, the Trickster Spider in West African tales. You will then find 14 more South African tales. Stories like “Why the Hyena is Lame” – a story of why, when first seen walking, the Hyena gives the impression that it is lame and the role the Jackal played in bringing this about. Also, “Why the Heron has a Crooked Neck” – a story how the crook in the Heron’s neck came about and how the devious Jackal, once again, had a part to play. There are also the Hottentot (Bushman) tales of “The Sun” and “The Stars and the Stars’ Road” which when first documented surprised the original recorders, as who would have thought the Bushmen would have tales of the origin of the stars and planets. Indeed in Bleek and Lloyd’s work Specimens of Bushman Folklore they recount the tale of “The Girl Of The Early Race, Who Made Stars” and also a poem of “Sirius And Canopus”! Metelerkamp states in the foreword that “These tales are the common property of every country child in South Africa” - and so they are and have been since the region was first populated thousands of years ago. We invite you to sit back in a comfy chair of a cold, crisp evening, a steaming hot beverage in hand and enjoy this sliver of South African folklore and culture from an age long past and almost forgotten. 33% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the Sentabale charity supporting children in Lesotho orphaned by AIDS.
