From Africa’s amazing ruling dynasties to its topography and its multiplicity of fascinating cultures, Africana has it all. For organisational ease of use, it’s divided into broad geographical zones: North, Southern, Central, East and West – and every section features something special and new to discover. Did you know that Burkina Faso hosts Africa’s largest annual film festival, FESPACO, which was founded in 1969? With a beautiful hard cover and large format, plus delightful illustrations that bring the fact-packed, easy-to-read text to life, this book is the perfect gift for kids aged six to nine.
