About this ebook
“Bessie Head’s short stories have an extraordinary simplicity and
breadth of vision,” heralded a review in The Tribune after publication
of Head’s first collection of short stories, The Collector of Treasures.
Regarded today as one of Africa’s best-known woman writers in English,
Head draws on the rich oral tradition of southern Africa and masterfully
applies storytelling’s language and imagery. Carefully sequenced, the
anthology gives special focus to village people from independence-era
Botswana and the status, position, and plight of African women.
