From the dust jacket-
"The illustrations show the story presented in the form of a play performed before their fellow villagers by Masai actors wearing animal masks. The costumes, terrain, and jewelry are typical of the Masai; the masks are an artistic invention. They change expressions as the play progresses, showing anger, fear, merriment in a way that could only happen in the realm of fantasy.
