London England: Rupert Hart Davies, 1963. Hardback. First Edition. The King's Drum and Other African Stories. Foxing to edge. Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. Small mark to front D/J, from removal of old label. Here is a collection of folk tales from many peoples and many regions of Africa. Some of them reflect ways of thinking and of living which will soon have disappeared completely. Others comment humorously upon unchanging qualities in the nature of man. Here are tales of heroes and mock-heroes, human and animal tricksters, here are riddles and dilemmas, and legends that explain natural phenomena. Many point a moral, or illustrate a popular saying, and some of them set up an uncanny echo of themes found in folk tales of Europe, Asia and America. The stories are typically African, yet leave the reader with a strong sense of the universality of certain truths - not always flattering ones. Illustrations. 125 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Good. Illus. by Enrico Arno. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
