This treasury contains most of the stories previously collected in Children of Wax and seven new tales from the Setswana-speaking people of Botswana. <br><br>A girl discovers that her young husband might actually be a lion in disguise, but not before they have two sons who might actually be cubs . . . When a child made of wax follows his curiosity outside into the heat of daylight and melts, his siblings shape him into a bird with feathers made of leaves that enable him to fly into the light . . . Talking hyenas, milk-giving birds, clever cannibals who nonetheless get their comeuppance, and mysterious forces that reside in the landscape&#8212;these wonderful fables bring us the wealth, the variety, and the particular magic of traditional African lore. 5913206 7 12 2004 The Girl Who Married a Lion: and Other Tales from Africa total:235|5:35|4:65|3:101|2:31|1:3| 235 803 350 29 5 0 false false Thu Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Oct 08 12:25:16 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 12:26:07 -0700 2009
