Description

Gathered from 7 of the more than 40 ethnic groups of Kenya, these stores are brought to you both as original translations and as lively, ready-to-use retellings.

Ethnic groups respresented are the Kikuyu, Turkana, Akamba, Kipsigis, Taita, Luhya, and Samburu.

Cultural and historical background information on the groups, notes on the stories, lists of further resources, and tips for retelling make this collection useful to librarians, storytellers, public speakers, teachers, and parents.

The fascinating account of McNeils's own experiences and observations in collecting the tales is woven throughout the book.

Beautiful color photos of Kenyan storytellers and the animals portrayed in the stories illustrate her journey and the tales.
