Summary:"This is a selection of tales gathered in Afrikaans from present-day Karoo storytellers. They animate the harsh but beautiful landscape with lively characters like cunning Jackal, silly Hyena, dangerous Water Snake and the sinister Foot-Eyes. Such tales were first documented in the 1870s by William Bleek and Lucy Lloyd."--Back cover. "The stories in this book were recorded in the area historically known as Bushmanland, south of the Gariep (Orange) River."--Page 8.
