Theal. Specimens of Bantu Folklore

Today's free book is The yellow and dark-skinned people of Africa south of the Zambesi: a description of the Bushmen, the Hottentots, and particularly the Bantu by George McCall Theal (1910). For the table of contents, check at the bottom of this post below the image. More about Theal at Wikipedia.

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