About this ebook
This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles:
Book 1: The Africans have a long history, although not everything has been preserved in writing. And many folklore stories have been passed on through generations. The African tribes vary as much as the colors of the rainbow.
It is for these reasons, and entertainment as well, that this book has been put together. It entails several mythological tales that refer to African gods, creatures, and entities. Some of these have morals. Others are symbolic of one thing or another.
All in all, this is a short but fun and intriguing book about African culture and ancient religions from that region.
Book 2: The extensive history of Africa provides us with a topic of curiosity and novelty. For this reason, this guide has been composed to help you understand some of the cultural anecdotes as well as the religious and traditional tales that have been told to previous generations.
When we dive into some background information, you will have a better grasp of the context of the four intense stories that follow.
Enjoy this short, simple yet profound compilation of African myths.
