Essential African Mythology by Ngangar Mbitu
This is a unique collection of stories from the African heartland, taken from many different tribes and retold in a powerful and accessible style that vividly captures the imaginative uniqueness of the African spirit. These primal myths give a compelling glimpse into the beliefs of the early African people and how they saw their world. Spirit gods, mythological animals and nature deities characterize these myths that tell of the beginning and end of time, how the forces of the cosmos created life, and how the deeds of heroes inventer fire and built communities.Obed Ochwanyi is a storyteller, broadcaster and educational consultant in Kenya. Elizabeth Breuilly is the co-author of ‘Religion for a Change’, ‘Christianity and Ecology’ and ‘A Tapestry of Tales’.
