Zanzibar Tales

by George W. Bateman

Animal stories and wonder tales told on the east coast of Africa, translated from Swahili by George W. Bateman and published in 1901. The hare, the tortoise and the monkey outwit stronger creatures, as small animals do in stories across the continent. Verne’s balloon set off from Zanzibar too.
