The whole collection has been given a carefully developed sequence. Bessie Head says: 'There are some of the old African myths to head the sequence . . . with themes such as the ancient pattern of tribal migration, and heathendom versus Christianity and witchcraft. And the last four stories, "Snapshots of A Wedding", "The Special One", "The Collector of Treasures" and "Hunting" can be grouped together as they all deal, in their different ways, with .a complete breakdown of family life, especially in Bamangwato country where I live. All the background was given to me by women who rear illegitimate children on their own.' Vissza
