"The Ogress and the Snake," is the Somali version of a Hansel and Gretel story. It is about five little girls who have been abandoned in the desert and try to find safety in the house of a man-eating ogress. This story has a trickster character, magic powers and a talking camel. There are more than one story in this book. Great for our folklore unit in 4th grade and provides diversity in cultures and stories. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
For millennia, Somalia has been crossed and recrossed by camel caravans of merchants bringing stories with them. Elizabeth Laird heard most of these oral retellings in Jigjiga, the capital of Ethiopia's Somali region, in gardens, bars, small huts and beautiful old Harari houses. Some of them are written down here for the very first time. This wonderful collection of down-to-earth tales makes a perfect introduction to a fascinating and little-known country.
