Tales from the African Plains.
Paintings by Gregory Alexander. Retold by Anne Gatti.
In the cool of the evening, at the end of a day spent toiling in the hot sun, African villagers traditionally gathered around the fire to hear well-loved tales of times gone by. These tales spoke of the days when the land was peopled only by animals, of celestial rulers, of monsters and goblins....
The stories in "Tales from the African plains" are drawn from this rich oral tradition and span the fantastical and the everyday. Gregory Alexander's vibrant paintings capture, in richly contrasting shades, the dusty grasslands, luxuriant trees, village gatherings and native animals of Africa.
Here is a collection to feast both the ears and the eyes.
