Description: "This is a selection of tales gathered in Afrikaans from present-day Karoo storytellers. They animate the harsh but beautiful landscape with lively characters like cunning Jackal, silly Hyena, dangerous Water Snake and the sinister Foot-Eyes. Such tales were first documented in the 1870s by William Bleek and Lucy Lloyd. Unexpectedly they have survived, affirming a strong and continuing tradition of oral storytelling in South Africa. They're presented here with English translation."--Back cover. "The stories in this book were recorded in the area historically known as Bushmanland, south of the Gariep (Orange) River."--Page 8.
Notes: "This publication is Volume II in the CAS Papers from the Pre-Colonial Catalytic Project."--Title page verso.
