South-African Folk Tales is a collection of traditional stories from various tribes and regions of South Africa, compiled and edited by James Albert Honey. Originally published in 1910, the book contains a total of 33 tales, each with its own unique characters, plot, and moral lesson. The stories cover a wide range of themes, including bravery, cunning, love, and justice, and are often infused with elements of magic and supernatural powers. Many of the tales feature animals as central characters, such as the clever hare and the wise tortoise, and use their actions and behaviors to teach valuable life lessons. The book also includes an introduction by Honey, providing context and background information on the various tribes and cultures represented in the stories. Overall, South-African Folk Tales offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse storytelling traditions of South Africa, and continues to be a beloved classic of African literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
