Description

"These stories are rich in variety. There are interesting comparisons to be made between the style and telling and of the contents between the ten tribes represented; the Bakongo, who gave the country and river its name, tell stories of the palm groves of the lower Congo, while the Alur of the north-east tell mystical stories of people and the Lake which will be familiar to the Luo people in Uganda and Kenya. Peoples in West Africa and Zambia will also find echoes among their own stories" (From the back cover)
