South-African Folk-Tales

"South-African Folk-Tales" by James A. Honey is a compilation of age-old narratives originating from South Africa, told with the intent to both entertain and teach about different cultures. The stories often feature animals like Jackal, Lion, and Hyena, using them to explain moral lessons and share cultural insights passed down through generations, especially from the Bushmen. Readers will explore the history of how some tales blend influences from different languages and cultures, like Dutch, showing the diverse origins of South African storytelling and the importance of human nature, community, and morals.
