A fascinating and culturally insightful collection of over 1800 Shona proverbs (Tsumo or Shumo depending on the Shona dialect in Zimbabwe). The author has collected them into 11 chapters that cover a variety of topics. The book also contains Alphabetical and Topical indexes to help locate proverbs of interest or proverbs about a particular topic. The proverb is an important element in Shona discussion and argumentation. This collection allows a Shona speaker or student to deepen their wells of traditional lore.
