Tales of Zindana

Sitting around a warm fire on a dark night in the village or in a cosy bedroom in the city, Grandma tells stories from Zindana to Kiteng, her 10 year old granddaughter and Ddamba, her best friend. This is a collection of stories set in and around a mythical magical, kingdom somewhere in the highland forests of Central Africa. Zindana is undiscovered, untouched and totally independent of the rest of the world. The stories describe the adventures of Kofi and his friends in this legendary place. Kofi is saddled with taking care of his 10 years old cousin, Merabu who adores him. Each story reveals more of the magical nature of the kingdom and yet even in this magical, serene setting there are dangers to watch out for, mysteries to solve and many new cultures, people, and even wildlife to discover. The stories hint at the need to conserve the environment, alluding to issues of exploitation and greed. Zindana is a special place where anything is possible.
