Description

THE CALABASH CHILDIn this paperback edition of the classic book you meet Vugiswe, the Calabash Child, and sit with him under the wait a minute trees listening to the wonderful stories which his mother, First Women, has to tell about Hare and Crocodile, about Lion Cub and Hyena, about Fire and Water and about Tokoloshi, who is a very powerful imp even though he is only as long as your pointing finger and as dark as a moonless night. You will find out why Ape has no

In this paperback edition of the classic book you meet Vugiswe, the Calabash Child, and sit with him under the wait-a-minute trees listening to the wonderful stories which his mother, First Women, has to tell about Hare and Crocodile, about Lion Cub and Hyena, about Fire and Water - and about Tokoloshi, who is a very powerful imp even though he is only as long as your pointing finger and as dark as a moonless night. You will find out why Ape has no tail, why Mosquito buzzes so angrily and why Elephant.... but it would be a pity to spoil the stories telling you too much about them. They are simple but enthralling, for they contain many secrets of Nkulunkulu's creation.

African folklore is a rich wisdom. Diana Pitcher first heard the tale from her Zulu nurse - and the beauty of the stories made a deep impression on her. Her interest in African legend was further encouraged by her father, himself a linguist in Zulu.

Diana Pitcher was born in South Africa. For many years she trained teachers of all races in Kwazulu Natal and Zimbabwe.  

Meg Rutherford's breathtakingly beautiful illustrations further enrich this book

Read. This. Book.
Format: Kindle
Read this book if you have a dysfunctional family or relationship with family members (including in-laws and extended family). Read this book if you think you don’t. Nedra outlines several different types of familial relationships and how challenging it can be to work through dysfunction or things we have considered normal that are not. Nedra also provides wisdom and tools on how to overcome the many challenges that occur in relationships with family members with gentleness, understanding and realistic observations and advice. Please keep in mind that there will likely be much to unpack from both your childhood and adulthood. It can be an incredibly emotional process in which you might need to take breaks and pauses. However, it is a worthwhile endeavor that will allow you a new, healthier perspective on your relationships with others, and it will cause you to re-evaluate yourself and how you interact with others. This is necessary wisdom for cultivating peace and harmony in your life. I wish fellow readers an eye-opening and heartfelt journey. Be kind and gracious to yourself during this experience and best wishes in creating and living your most authentic life.
