Autorenporträt
Natty Mark Samuels, dubbed "Oxford's botanical folklorist" by OX Magazine, travels to botanical gardens, youth centers, and carnivals throughout the U.K. telling the stories and singing the songs of African and Caribbean flora. In 2009, seeing that none of Oxford's universities offered undergraduate tuition in African Studies, Samuels founded the African School, where he teaches classes on African folklore, art, and culture for the general public.
