Dume's Roar is an original tale inspired by the "King of the Animals" theme and by the "Tortoise Trickster" character so popular in African fables.

Autorenporträt
Tololwa M. Mollel is well known for his colorful and lively tales built on traditional African themes. Tololwa is the holder of the R. Ross Annett Award, the Ruth Schwartz Award and numerous other honors. He lives in Edmonton, AB. Kathy Blankley Roman has illustrated a number of Mollel's short stories for Cricket Magazine.
