  In the guineafowl's spots and other African bird tales she has created a unique collection of African folktales, exclusively about birds. Drawn from across the continent, these tales often draw on human characteristics and are followed by African proverbs that illustrate various moral lessons. This fascinating collection includes classic tales such as 'Why Flamingo stands on one leg' from Nigeria, 'The laughing dove' from North Africa, and the Xhosa tale 'The bird that could make milk'.
