- Description
- Salungano! Salungano- Here comes a story! Jaco Kruger and Ina le Roux present a beautifully illustrated collection of Tshivenda song stories (Ngano) in a compilation of twenty-seven translated oral narratives from Venda living in the mountainous Soutpansberg region of South Africa. The Nganoare not only entertaining tales which conjure up images of grandmothers and children gathered around evening fires, but are also ancient artistic maps of the human condition that provide a privileged view of human relationships in an African society. Often using animals as metaphoric characters, these stories are reminiscent of The Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling and are a delightful vehicle for imparting important social themes and moral lessons.
