| A Caldecott Award winning Cinderella tale! When a great African king desires a wife, only the most
worthy and beautiful maidens in the land are invited to meet him. Mufaro’s pride and joy, his two
daughters of very different dispositions, travel across a river and half a day’s journey to go before the
king. With traditional chanting and African dance, drumming and song, the story celebrates goodness,
generosity and love. Based on the book by John Steptoe, this African story from Zimbabwe was inspired
by a folktale collected by G.M. Theal, and published in 1895 in his book, Kaffir Folktales. |
