IF you thought Somalia had nothing to offer the world but piracy, you'll soon change your mind if you sample this wonderful selection from the country's colourful and unusual traditional stories.
The author collected them herself in the field from local oral tradition and has retold them in a splendidly accessible and entertaining style.
Great for any child who enjoys fairy tales. (Age 7+).
