Jungle Animals Folk Tales: Children Folk Tales Based on Animals of the Jungle By: Dr. Zuvarashe Judith Mushipe Growing up in Zimbabwe in the 60s, there were no TVs, especially in the countryside. For entertainment the children listened to grown-ups telling them stories. Most of the stories had animal characters, but they conveyed lessons to the children. In this book, Dr. Zuvarashe Judith Mushipe narrates folk tales based on animals of the jungle. These are stories she grew up hearing as elders in her community narrated them to the children. Each story written in this book conveys a strong message to the children. The lessons from the stories can benefit both children and adults alike. In sharing these tales, Dr. Mushipe hopes to preserve the stories that have been passed from generation to generation in the Shona culture in Zimbabwe. About the Author Dr. Zuvarashe Judith Mushipe has a PhD in Management and has been teaching at university level since 1985.
