      A POTTLE O' BRAINS - An Old English Folk Tale - Anon E Mouse

      www.AbelaPublishing.com

      Introduction

      Baba Indaba, pronounced Baaba Indaaba, lived in Africa a long-long time ago. Indeed, this story was first told by Baba Indaba to the British settlers over 250 years ago in a place on the South East Coast of Africa called Zululand, which is now in a country now called South Africa.

      In turn the British settlers wrote these stories down and they were brought back to England on sailing ships. From England they were in turn spread to all corners of the old British Empire, and then to the world.

      In olden times the Zulu’s did not have computers, or iPhones, or paper, or even pens and pencils.
