Holland. Folklore of the Banyanja

Today's free book is Folklore of the Banyanja by Madeleine Holland (in Folklore v. 27 1916). For the table of contents, check at the bottom of this post below the image. You can read more about the Nyanja and other Chewa peoples at Wikipedia.

The book is available at Hathi Trust (I have not checked for other online sources).
