LCCN 76-6610. It would take volumes to describe the cultures of all the African tribes, but here are insights about 26 of them, from the Ashanti to the Zulu. The author has described ceremonies, celebrations, and day-to-day customs. Some of them are shared by many peoples, others are unique, but all are fascinating. Leo and Diane Dillon show as much about the different tribes as possible, in most painting they have included a man, a woman, a child, their living quarters, an artifact, and a local animal, capturing in their artwork the beauty and dignity of each of the 26 peoples described.
