Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440832691, Paperback)

Versions of this story are told in many parts of East Africa. Similar tales are told by the Kikuyu and Masai tribes in Kenya and by tribes in Southern Africa. This version has been adapted by permission of Nick Greaves from an East African folktale that appears in When Hippo Was Hairy (David Bateman Ltd. New Zealand, 1988). The artist has based his depiction of Man on early Masai tribesmen.
