The Village That Vanished (Jane Addams Honor Book)

Rating:
Summary: Good, could be better
Review: "The Village That Vanished" is a story about the people of an African village who work together to avoid slavers that are coming their way, showing how faith and perserverence are rewarded. The story is set among the "Yao" people but no information is given as to who the Yao people are or where they live or whether this is a story told in Africa. The story seems to be set in East Africa (the slavers appear to be Arab, not European). Some background information would be very useful. The illustrations are excellent.
