The Baboons Who Went This Way And That: Folktales From Africa Reviews

This is a gem of a book . . . Each tale sparkles with magic. * * Junior Education * *
A collection of charm and tenderness. * * Daily Telegraph * *
Deceptively elegant... these brilliant stories shine through in a way that is wholesome, engaging and highly rewarding. * * Herald * *
These stories are still beautiful; creating a wryly humorous place where the animal and human worlds are fluidly in touch with each other, and, as in all the best fables, you take a lesson away with you. * * Metro * *
