Three Princesses of Badibu Manding

Imagine Africa in the seventh through to the fifteenth centuries, when African kings were regarded as divine rightful rulers, before it was sadly fragmented by colonialist adventures. Imagine an Africa without today s inept boundaries and AK-47 dictatorships. This work is about an African society where life, community, and a gentleman s handshake on any noncriminal deal were sacrosanct. This book is part history, part fiction, and part entertainment embodied in three princesses of Badibou Manding determined to be custodians of the Mandinka culture and traditions. It beseeches you to follow the reigns of three lovely African princesses imbued with humility, love of their people, and pride permeated thoroughly with tradition and culture. The work dramatizes their determination to be custodians of full traditional values and the glory of African culture in its purest form as practiced by the Mandinkas. It is an African society that thrives on the simple dictum, "I am my community and neighbor s keeper.""
