Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters: An African Tale by John Steptoe

5.0

Great book to use in Cinderella / fairy tale unit. Has some elements similar to Mother Holly.

Per jacket notes in back, this story "was inspired by a story collected by G. M. Theal and published in 1895. The tale was collected from people living near the Zimbabwe ruins, a site that archaeologists now consider to have been a magnificent trade city built and occupied by indigenous Africans."
