Edited by J.K. Jackson

Description

Traditional stories bring a deeper understanding of the movement of peoples across East Africa.

Common roots and differences between ancient peoples create a lively portrait with their fragile, powerful gods.

The modern nations of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and more inherit the folk and mythic tales of the rift valley region.

Here you'll find stories of ogres and tricksters, riddles and poems, figures such as the first man (Gikuyu) and woman (Mumbi), and great heroes of history such as Liongo.

This new collection is created for the modern reader.

FLAME TREE 451: From myth to mystery, the supernatural to horror, fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and escapist fantasies.

Discover a storehouse of tales gathered specifically for the reader of the fantastic.
