4.0
An old children's book of a slightly different kind. First edition 1955, mine is probably from the late 60s (the title has been changed).
This is about Nobi, an African boy and what he experiences at the time of the slave hunters. Nobi has the gift that all people and animals are kind to him and uses it to do good. He frees slaves, with the help of his animal friends, and brings peace to his land.
A very well written and special book, which one would not have expected from that time. It illustrates the brutality of the slave hunters and does not portray the African natives as inferior, as I have seen in other books from this time.
A good children's book that sensitively portrays a significant point in history.
