About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I could most likely show 30 things why I like this particular book, but my time is important to me, so this customer review might not be extremely long. 5 stars! By far the best thing that's happened to me today. I acknowledged a great deal of the things the author was speaking about. Some things discussed my head, but that's normal for any book that has actually been composed by a genius.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audio book is very good. The thoughts from the writer made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with all the things, and that's another reason I am so excited about this book. The author did not arbitrarily choose little bits and pieces of bad advice, but rather, sorted out the statements enough. It's an interesting principle, the whole premise of this book. You do not normally see that in some other books. And that's why it can use a person like me to compose a couple of positive aspects of it.
