Animal Tales. Volume 4: Volume 4: Book 4 - Softcover

In Animal Tales: Volume 4 poor Wolf continues his trials with Jackal. Again we see that poor Wolf is too dim-witted to realize that he is being tricked. He learns nothing from the mishaps that befall him; no, experience leaves Wolf none the wiser! The illustrations of up-and-coming artist Dale Blankenaar give new life to the antics of these animals.

G.R. von Wielligh (1859-1932) grew up with the stories of the Bushman people. After he qualified as a surveyor, he made it his life-long quest to document these tales for posterity. Von Wielligh had a surveyor's office in the hinterland of South Africa from where he would visit the regions known as Bushmanland and the Agter-Hantam. Without Von Wielligh, countless African fables would have been lost, since the radio and later television killed the indigenous traditions of storytelling.
