Folktales from Africa The Girl Who Married a Lion

Alexander McCall Smith

9781841957296_regular

From the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency comes this delightful celebration of African folk tales retold with McCall Smith's customary wit and skill.

How can a girl possibly have married a lion? How can a man have a tree growing out of his head? And how can a woman have children made out of wax? The stories in this collection make these questions seem simple, everyday ones—with, as it happens, simple, everyday answers.

Praise for Folktales from Africa :

'A collection of charm and tenderness. And it speaks volumes for the power of very short stories.'

Daily Telegraph (UK)

'It is McCall Smith's wit and storytelling gift that turns these engaging tales into such an enjoyable read. Savour alone or with your children.'
