Mwenye Hadithi, Illustrated by Adrienne Kennaway

0-340-62685-2, £4.99 pbk
An entertaining story which has a very strong atmosphere of the traditional tale about it. Bold, clear pictures and a rich but straightforward text tell of the way in which the fish eagle avenges himself for the trick Hyena plays on him. Interesting animals, such as the pangolin, widen children's horizons and the satisfying plot offers opportunities for that nice feeling of justice being done which so many traditional tales offer.
