In a rift valley village in Kenya, an old man asks his grandson to get him some magic honey made by the bees in the hive of death. The honey restores his failing memory, and enables him to remember the fantastic animal stories he used to know.Kalulu, his grandson, brings his friends to hear the spellbinding tales of Chui the leopard, Nugu the baboon, Nguchi the mongoose, Mamba the crocodile, Degeh the vulture, Ndezi the cane rat, Sniffy the tale-telling jackal, and many other animals. In each adventure, there are hopes and fears, plotting, disaster, salvation, and jungle-justice. And, for the growing audience of children, there is morality too. The book has 28 black & white illustrations, depicting the animals most central to the story..
