This review is from: African Proverbs And Wisdom: A Collection for Every Day of the Year, from More Than Forty African Nations (Paperback)
The proverbs are great, the riddles are fine, but there are many quotations, excerpts, and even holidays! I would have preferred the author would have limited to one proverb per day! That way the book would have been wonderful!
