This book was inspired by old African folktale collected in the late 1800's from people living near the Zimbabwe ruins. It is the story of two very different sisters. Although both are extremely beautiful, one is kind and selfless while the other is bad-tempered and prideful to a fault. After a series of unknown tests, the girls' true characters are revealed and rewarded accordingly. The illustrations are beautiful, and are based on actual ruins and vegetation in Zimbabwe.
