Language Lizard is excited to announce that one of our favorite world folktales – Mamy Wata and the Monster – is now available in English with Arabic, French, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Polish and Spanish. An English only version is also available.
This beautifully illustrated book is on the list of the 100 Best African Books of the Century. It is also part of Language Lizard’s collection of Folktales from Around the World.
It tells the story of a man who was cursed into a life as a monster because he refused to marry the daughter of a witch. Mamy Wata, the queen of the water, is the only one willing to open her heart and see the true feelings of this beast.
Like all the best fables, this story imparts invaluable lessons for children, showing that not everyone is as they seem on the outside. Mamy Wata also emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and love when she accepts the man for who he is.
