South African Folk Tales

The book that started our social enterprise project.

It is with great thanks to James A. Honey that this volume was ever compiled and published in 1910.

I remember as a child attending Infant and Junior School at Westville in South Africa during the 1960’s and being told some of these stories as a six or seven year old.  Stories about the Monkey's Fiddel, the Lost Message, Tink-Tinkie and more.

It is doubtful that Westville Infant School or Westville Junior school (now Westville Junior Primary and Westville Senior Primary) still have an original volume and it is unknown if these stories are still told in schools around South Africa. 

It is therefore only fitting that this unique volume of South African Folk Tales be resurrected and brought back to life almost a century after they were first published so that they can benefit those South African children who, for a myriad of reasons, would not normally receive a full education.
The 33% donation from the profit of this book is given to the Westville Boys High Scholarship fund.

The book has 45 stories contained within its 110 pages and measures 127mm x 203mm or 5" x 8".
