Three tales from different parts of the African continent are retold by an author who lives in Tanzania. These myths offer answers to questions which have been asked since time began concerning the origins of mountains and fire, and why the sun is in the sky. The stories are simply told, clearly presented --- the most successful in terms of marriage between text and pictures being A Visit from the Sea. The artist (whose first book this is) shows considerable talent and his paintings will give pleasure both to adults and children of all ages.
