222 pages~4 hr 25 min read41 chapters$4.99
Around Congo campfires, the explorer Henry Morton Stanley collected the tales his African companions told after dark: how the first man was made, why the goat fears the lion, the queen who lived in a pool. Here are those stories, set down as he heard them. Folklore from the heart of a continent, passed hand to hand.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
