Over thirty years ago Marlene Winberg started listening to the stories of San women from the !xun tribe. Healer and storyteller Meneputo Manunga Manyeka made her promise that one day she would put them together in a book. The Gathering Bag fulfils that promise. And so that they should have wider reach and significance, Marlene worked with Sue Hollingsworth to have them shared by storytellers across the world. Here Marlene gives us the back story. The Gathering Bag, published by Manyeka Arts Trust is available through Amazon and Takealot.
