Zanzibar Tales: Told By Natives Of The East Coast Of Africa (1901) is a collection of traditional stories and legends from the East Coast of Africa, as told by the native people themselves. The book was compiled and edited by George W. Bateman, who spent several years living among the people of Zanzibar and other nearby regions. The tales in the book cover a wide range of topics, from animal fables to tales of adventure and romance. They offer a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this part of Africa, as well as providing insight into the beliefs and values of the people who lived there. The book is illustrated with black and white drawings that capture the spirit of the stories, and includes an introduction by Bateman that provides some background information on the region and its people. Overall, Zanzibar Tales is a charming and engaging collection of stories that will appeal to anyone interested in African folklore and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
