This African story book is based on true happenings in the African experience involving mainly young African children. In this volume, the reader not only learns of the vibrant characters of these children, but also gets a glimpse of the culture, tradition, and way of life of Africans. The general setting for these stories is in the distant rural areas not yet tainted by the intricacies of modern life. In these places, people still rely on simple modes of transport, such as riding on donkeys or donkey carts. But these stories also reflect how resolute and determined African children can be in their attempts to be obedient to their parents, teachers, relatives, and the village elders. Parents instill the values of community upon their children. Many of the characters in this story are young believers in the Christian faith. Some of the children have demonstrated that raw faith which made sure nothing stood between them and what they believed in. The stories reflect the reality of the African adventurous life. They contain lessons of life and the values that any serious parents would desire to see developing in their children. This volume will certainly be a good read for anybody who enjoy readings about what is happening on the other side of the worldor all around it. Countless African children have enjoyed stories such as these told by the fireside by a grandmother or other elderly person as the evening wastes into the night. Enjoy!
