Outa Karel’s Stories: South African Folk-Lore Tales

Outa Karel’s Stories: South African Folk-Lore Tales, published in 1914 by Sanni Metelerkamp, is a collection of folk tales that preserve the oral traditions of South Africa's indigenous peoples. Metelerkamp, a South African playwright and author, aimed to document these stories during a time of significant societal change following years of conflict among various groups. Although originally intended for English audiences, the tales reflect the rich cultural heritage of South Africa, with some expressions in Afrikaans and a glossary provided for reference. This work serves as a vital record of the country's folklore and traditions.
