Myths and Legends of Southern Africa – Penny Miller

Through the pages of this book you will meet many strange characters – witches, witchdoctors, mediums, diviners, mystics, ghosts, ogres, mermen and mermaids, human beings who claim to be able to change into wild animals, wild animals posessed by strange wisdom or spirits. Here are the myths of the mountains, the rivers, waterfalls and forests; the wonderful dreams of many people whose minds have groped in the dark in search of a tiny light to illuminate the immensity of space and the baffling riddles of the universe.
