Abstract

DR. WERNER is best known in the field of African philology, for her knowledge of Bantu tongues is probably unique, and beyond doubt these acquirements have greatly facilitated her researches into the mythology of the people dealt with in this work. Such a patient and discerning investigation must therefore command great respect.

Myths and Legends of the Bantu.

By Dr. Alice Werner. Pp. 335 + 31 plates. (London, Bombay and Sydney: George G. Harrap and Co., Ltd., 1933.) 15s. net.
