Seasons greetings, JohnK.. i think i have that.. i have a few book's on
Zulu proverbs, fireside tales, dictionary's ect, i hope you enjoy your
book, their tales are not dissimilar to other culture's, although the Zulu
was a society full of superstition and it was sometimes used as a form of
control, the humour and practicality of these people shine's through. you
might think of giving it a review after you finish it.. i note there are five
copies currently available on abe. xhosa
