Cover design by Keith Pointing Cover illustration by Sunita Singh Author photograph by George Hallett. FROM THE PUBLISHER - During her lifetime (1937-86), Bessie Head was hailed as one of Africa´s greatest writers. This anthology of stories, personal observations and historic legends - some previously unpublished — is a fitting tribute to her versatility and power as a story-teller and commentator. TALES OF TENDERNESS AND POWER draws on writings which have roots in the author´s own experience in Botswana. It reflects her fascination with the country´s people and their history and her identification with individuals and their conflicting emotions. `She enjoyed observing, smiling, forgiving or raging and then recording.´ These tales reveal her affinity with human goodness and tenderness and her fear and resentment of the misuse of power. Bessie Head has been described as writing with `an extraordinary simplicity and breadth of vision´. This collection will honour her vision and posthumously reinforce her literary status. `It should be widely read for it confirms the stature and rich complexity of Head´s literary legend.´ Andries Walter Oliphant, New Nation `TALES OF TENDERNESS AND POWER is a good book which reasserts Head as one of Africa´s great writers, and pays a deserved tribute to a woman who gave the best part of her life to literature.´ Kaizer M Nyatsumba, Tribute. inventory #17929 ISBN: 0435905791.
