"First published in 1980, this new edition of Swahili stories by Shaaban Robert, the Swahili master, tells of angels and devils and other extraordinary creatures. It is a vehicle of invention for issues in the book which are about land and its plants, mining and its value, livestock and agriculture, commerce, travel, richness and poverty, the rich and their wealth and relations between siblings. A moving characterisation of people in different pursuits of wealth and welfare."--Google.com.
