The Legend of Mpoobe
by Bhuka Bijumiro-Jjumiro
The Legend of Mpoobe is another Bijumiro-Jjumiro retelling of an ancient tale from the African Oral Tradition. The story of Mpoobe is captivating. It is like watching a suspense movie in which a great hunter finds himself trapped in the Underworld where he faces the Lord of Death. Promising not to divulge what he had seen in the world of the dead, Mpoobe returns home shaken and afraid. For years, he lives with his wife who pressures him to reveal what happened to him on the day he disappeared.
About the Author
Bhuka Bijumiro-Jjumiro writes children's spiritual short stories based upon ancient Africa's Oral Tradition as narrated and passed down from pre-history. These folktales have been related from father to son and from mother to daughter up to the present day. As a student of mystic philosophy and author of books on mysticism, Bijumiro enjoys educating our children about the precious jewels of divine wisdom transmitted from the Great Bakalimagezi Abasengejje (Wise Sages). He has always found time to visit schools as a storyteller to educate children about the rich concealed spiritual heritage found at the birthplace of humanity. Children have found these tales especially exciting, particularly when relayed in his native language. It is a great service that these gems of wise teachings have now been translated which makes them available to a wider audience. For the first time, children and parents alike will be exposed to Africa's contribution to universal divine wisdom and the sacred morals found in spirituality from before the beginning of recorded time.
