MY ZAMBIAN FOLKTALES AND GEO-TALES – Dr A. Mulamba Chibesakunda

My Zambian Folktales and Geo-Tales is composed of a series of folk and geographical tales that lead us to discover the culture and nature of Zambia.
It tells us the story of a little princess who lived in a kingdom in northern Zambia and during a journey she met many animals and faced some difficulties.
It continues with sixteen rivers fighting against the Chambeshi River for control of a vast territory. We then meet a young angel who must learn to use his sword to create lightning and thunder. It tells of the friendship between two friends and the threat of a hippopotamus, described as a very dangerous and aggressive animal, telling the importance of friendship and personal sacrifice to help others. Finally, we see how the Earth itself complains about the negative effects of pollution and human action on the environment.
