The Magic Fish Bones and other tales from Africa

The storytellers of old related tales of why bat hangs upside down and
why crab has no head. In The Magic Fish Bones, author Nick Greaves
continues this ancient tradition by retelling the myths and legends of
southern African tribes. The nineteen stories in this volume introduce
a magical cast of characters from a feisty buck, greedy vultures, and a
bewitched crocodile to an arrogant bat and the perpetually crafty hare.
This collection of tales is a delightful addition to the successful
series by the author, including When Hippo was Hairy, When Lion
Could Fly, When Elephant was King, and When Bat was a Bird.
