Namasi, the Shoe Maker

David Read, born to British parents in Kenya in 1922, spent most of his childhood with the Masai tribe in the famous wilderness area which is known today as the Serengeti. David, speaking the Masai language fluently, is a treasure trove of information about the tribe’s history, legends, ceremonies and lifestyle.
Namasi, the shoe maker, is an authentic Masai legend, written for children. It tells the story of how the Ndorobo got to think that they are cleverer than the Masai.

The story is followed by some interesting facts about the Masai in East Africa.
