Riassunto

Originally published in the 1930s, this is a fascinating and rare account of Zulu beliefs, customs and folklore, written by one who lived among them for many years. It details a rich seam of belif, superstition and ritual which makes intriguing reading. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include A Zulu Wedding How Twins Were Treated ''Sending Home'' Departed Spirits Sacrificing to Sprits The Death of a Chief Inkata The Zulu Annual Feast The Doctoring of an Army Finding out Wizards A Fire Extinguisher Rain Doctors Rainbow, Lightning, and Eclipses Praying for the Corn Old Wives' Tales King Mpande's Snake Charmer How Death came into the World The Zulu's Choicest Bit of Meat A Friendly Way of Obtaining Food Peacemaking over a Pinch of Snuff Rules of a Zulu Hunt Bongoza's Smartness Zulu Ladyrinths and War Game
