Mansa Musa The ancient kingdoms of Africa form the backdrop to this tale of the boyhood of Mansa Musa, one of Mali's most famous kings. Mansa is stolen from his village by a party of slave-traders, only to be given his freedom by a mysterious nomad with whom he travels in the desert for many years on a journey of self-discovery, an apprenticeship to the great destiny that awaits him. Lavish colour illustrations conjure up this world of deserts, talking lions, jinns and fabled cities.
