 Kwela Books, 1998, 1st edition, 1st printing, very good PB, 56 pp. Bookseller stamp and signature on front end paper. Appears to be inscribed and signed by the author on the dedication page.  "To Mother, with much love. E K Kuzwayo." But I must in truth say I am not sure if the writing is printed in or written in, it is that unclear.

The book provides a unique insight into folkloric African wisdom by analyzing and offering anecdotal usage of Setswana proverbs. The author recounts tales from her rural youth and explains her philosophy on the healing power of proverbs. Also contained are a selection of Setswana proverbs, each with a literal English translation and an explanation of its meaning. The subjects addressed include the individual, the society, and the family.

Nnoseng Ellen Kate Kuzwayo (29 June 1914 – 19 April 2006) was a women's rights activist and politician in South Africa. She was president of the African National Congress Youth League in the 1960s. In 1994 she was elected to the first post-apartheid South African Parliament. Her autobiography, Call Me Woman (1985), won the CNA Prize.
