Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Hendrik's Tales "Ou' Ta'! Ou' Ta'!" she cried. "Now you re Ou' Jackalse and were Ou' Wolf, and we've got you this time at last" She wanted to dance in the triumph of it, could she have done it without letting go. Old Hendrik woke between a grunt and a groan, but the merry clamour of the little girl would have none of that. "Now we've got you, Ou' Jackalse," cried she again. The old man's yellow face looked up in a sly grin. " Ah, Anniekye," said he unctuously; "but Ou' Wolf never did ketch Ou' Jackalse. He ain't never bin slim enough yet. He make a big ole try dat time when he got Oom Baviyaan to help him; but all dey got was dat kink in Ou' Baviyaan's tail - you can see it yet" "But how did old Bobbyjohn get that kink in his tail? You never told us that, Ou' Ta'," protested Annie. The old Hottentot smiled to the little girl, and then straightway sighed to himself. "If you little folks only knowed de Taal," said he plaintively. "It don't soun' de same in you Englis' somehow." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book XHOSA FOLK & FAIRY TALES - 21 Xhosa children's stories from Nelson Mandela's homeland written by George McCall Theal and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xhosa Folk & Fairy Tales contains 21 Xhosa folk and fairy tales for children plus a section on the Proverbs and Figurative Expressions of the Xhosa. Nelson Mandela, or Madiba, was a Xhosa and these are the stories he would have been told as a boy. Herein you will find stories like: The Story of Sikulume The Story pf Mbulukazi The Story of Long Snake The Story of Kenkebe The Story of The Wonderful Horns The Story of The Glutton The Story of The Great Chief Of The Animals; to name but a few. Like Native Americans and most other African folk and fairy stories, each story carries a moral as they were used to teach children the morals and lessons they would carry with them through life. Despite this, they are also extremely amusing and entertaining. But the tribes of South Eastern Africa were not as isolated as many would think. Long before the Europeans arrived on the coast of South East Africa, Indians and Arabians had been trading regularly along this coast, mostly for gold and slaves and often venturing far inland to obtain either or both. There was also frequent contact with, at least, the neighbouring tribes of the Bechuana, the Zulu, the Sotho, the Qwa Qwa and the Gariep. Indeed, many locally crafted items found their way North to the ancient city-state of Great Zimbabwe, some even making it as far afield as India and Arabia. In the days long before Radio, TV and the Internet, many a traditional story would have been shared around a blazing campfire and it is with this mix of Indian, Arabian and inter-tribal African cultures that stories, or fragments of stories, would have been swapped with the peoples they met. So, if one of these stories should ring with familiarity, you don’t have to look far to find the reason for it. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Xhosa folklore, folk tales, Fairy Tales, African myths, African legends, fables, childrens stories, childrens books, storyteller, Bird That Made Milk, Five Heads, Tangalimlibo, Girl, Disregard for Custom Of Ntonjane, Simbukumbukwana, Sikulume, Hlakanyana, Demane And Demazana, Runaway Children, Wonderful Feather, Ironside And His Sister, Cannibals, Wonderful Bird, Cannibal Mother, Children, Mbulu, monster, creature, Mbulukazi, Long Snake, Kenkebe, Wonderful Horns, Glutton, Great Chief, Animals, Hare, Lion, Little Jackal, Proverbs, Figurative Expressions, south east Africa, south Africa, Xosa, click language, nelson Mandela, Nguni, Swazi, Sotho, Bechuana, Qwa Qwa, India, Arabia, Gariep, Transkei, kei river,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A #1 international bestseller in the vein of Fredrik Bachman's A Man Called Ove: an irresistible, funny, charming, and tender-hearted tale about friendship, love, and an old man who is young at heart. "FUNNY AND FRANK...A STORY WITH A GREAT DEAL OF HEART."--Graeme Simsion, New York Times bestselling author of THE ROSIE PROJECT Technically speaking, Hendrik Groen is....elderly. But at age 83 1/4, this feisty, indomitable curmudgeon has no plans to go out quietly. Bored of weak tea and potted geraniums, exasperated by the indignities of aging, Hendrik has decided to rebel--on his own terms. He begins writing an exposé: secretly recording the antics of day-to-day life in his retirement home, where he refuses to take himself, or his fellow "inmates," too seriously. With an eccentric group of friends he founds the wickedly anarchic Old-But-Not-Dead Club--"Rule #3: No Whining Allowed"--and he and his best friend, Evert, gleefully stir up trouble, enraging the home's humorless director and turning themselves into unlikely heroes. And when a sweet and sassy widow moves in next door, he polishes his shoes, grooms what's left of his hair, and determines to savor every ounce of joy in the time he has left, with hilarious and tender consequences. A bestselling phenomenon that has captured imaginations around the world, The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen is inspiring, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny with a deep and poignant core: a page-turning delight for readers of any age.

Download or read book CUNNIE RABBIT, Mr. SPIDER and the OTHER BEEF written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-03-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein are 51 illustrated African tales of Cunnie Rabbit, or Cunning Rabbit, Anansi the “Trickster” Spider and their mischievous antics they get up to with other animals in the West African Jungle. The 51 stories are divided into 13 sections. These sections are not the usual well-ordered and self explanatory sections you would expect. Instead, they are arranged with typically African fashion and meaning. They are: When The Night Has Come With The Spirits Of The Wood A Back-Yard Kitchen Evening On The Water A Purro Initiation The Burning Of The Farm Mammy Mamenah And Her Friends Children Of Nature An Afternoon In The Barreh Konah Turns Story-Teller While The Birds Did Not Come A Harvest Home In Temne-Land (Northen Sierra Leone) Konah Has A Wonderful Day Some of the stories interwoven into these sections are: Mr. Spider Wins A Wife, Goro, The Wonderful Wrestler, Mr. Turtle Makes A Riding-Horse Of Mr. Leopard, Cunning Rabbit And His Well, Mr. Chameleon Is Transformed Into A Boat, as well as many others which include your typical array of African forest animals like Mr. Crocodile, Mr ‘Elephan, Mr. Pawpawtámus (hippopotamus) and many more. But, Cunnie Rabbit is not in fact a rabbit in the true sense. Cunnie Rabbit is a small deer of the Duiker, or Dik Dik, variety of the family Cephalophinae of which there are 22 extant species. So, no matter what time of year it is, pour yourself a hot toddy, pull up a comfortable chair, and sit back and be prepared to be entertained with this old-fashioned book of African folklore gathered by Florence M. Cronise and Henry W. Ward from Sierra Leone over a hundred years ago. 10% of the publisher’s profit from the sale of this book will be donated to Charities.

Download or read book JOCK OF THE BUSHVELD - The Classic African Children's Story about a Special Dog written by Sir Percy Fitzpatrick and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-05-05 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jock Of The Bushveld is a true story by South African author Sir James Percy FitzPatrick.[1] The book tells of FitzPatrick's travels with his dog, Jock, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, during the 1880s, when he worked as a storeman, prospector's assistant, journalist and ox-wagon transport-rider in the Bushveld region of the Transvaal (then the South African Republic). Jock’s mother, Jess, was the only dog in their camp. FitzPatrick describes her as “an unattractive bull-terrier with a dull brindled coat–black and grey in shadowy stripes. She had small cross-looking eyes and uncertain always-moving ears; she was bad tempered and most unsociable", but everybody respected her. Jock’s father is only described as an imported dog in the book and there’s an ongoing debate on whether he was an American Staffordshire Terrier or of a breed like the Bull and Terrier. What followed were a string of amazing adventures across South Africa's highveld from the Lydenburg Goldfields to Delagoa Bay (Maputo) in which Jock had many adventures earned a reputation second to none. Jock permanently lost his hearing in one of these adventures when a kudu antelope cow kicked him. The main version of how Jock died is told as follows: When Fitzpatrick went to live in Barberton, he realised Jock was miserable living in a town and gave the dog to his friend Tom Barnett, who ran a supply store in what has since become Mozambique. NOTE. This was the route (Pretoria to Delagoa Bay) which Winston Churchill used to escape from the Boers in 1900. One night when Tom Barnett called him, he mistakenly shot Jock, because he was thought to be the dog killing chickens on his farm. He later discovered that Jock had meanwhile already killed the other intruding dog and was simply responding to his call. NOTE: The exact location of Jock´s grave is unfortunately not officially marked or known. However, in 1947 Fitzpatrick´s daughter Cecily Niven, backtracked her father´s travels according to the descriptions in "Jock of the Bushveld" and wrote about her findings in her book "Jock & Fitz" published 1968. ============== Sir James Percy FitzPatrick, KCMG, known as Percy FitzPatrick, was a South African author, politician, mining financier and pioneer of the fruit industry. He authored the classic children's book, Jock Of The Bushveld. As a politician, he defended British Imperial interests before and during the Anglo-Boer War.
