Product Description
Product Description
By The African Fire is a collection of six short stories for children. The bonfire was always a special place in any homestead. When special feasts had to be marked, the family shared a meal together around the fire; celebrations meant dancing and singing around the fire; when death struck, the mourners there gathered to comfort one another; and when it was time to tell a story, or to teach traditions, the younger ones sat down, by the fire, at the feet of the elders. These fiction stories relay the fireside experience that has brought much joy and learning to many a generation of African children. The richness of the experience with its strong appeal to the imagination is a pleasure to partake again and again and the reader is invited herein to share this same experience. Julius Caesar Sseremba was born and raised in Uganda. He holds a BSc (Chemistry) degree from Makerere University, and currently lives in Kampala. He is a fellow of the Crossing Borders African writing development program. He started writing in 2002. He has written articles and short stories in Relate Magazine, The New Vision, The Weekly Observer and the Crossing Borders Anthology of New Ugandan Writing.
