Prince Muntu is a richly illustrated international folktale by one of Africa's most celebrated storytellers, Kama Sywor Kamanda. This enchanting story follows a brave African prince who journeys to the 'land of the rising sun' to seek the hand of a widowed queen.
Faced with three seemingly impossible trials-including a magical test of identity, crossing a river without getting wet, and growing ripe bananas overnight-Muntu must rely on courage, ingenuity and the help of grateful creatures he has shown kindness to.
Blending African oral tradition with the atmosphere of Eastern legend, and brought to life through the delicate artwork of Izumi Ishikawa, this timeless picture book celebrates bravery, humility and cross-cultural harmony. Ideal for readers aged 7-12 and for families who cherish global storytelling.
