Over het boek
An analysis of the oral tradition in Madagascar as represented through the mystical, yet historical, tale of the Masikoro people. Murder, revenge, a virgin sacrifice all lead up to a magical tree that continues to grow as a veritable grove of trees. A fascinating tale with pictures and personal anecdotes to bring you to the courtyard of Fihamy. Great for adventurous spirits and those who dare to believe the impossible!
