The book was full of wisdom and stories that made me laugh. I like the origin stories.
I also like the diversity of the stories. --Amazon, Starred review ...Many young men had asked for the girl as a wife, but the king had refused them all. At last, to rid himself of the many suitors, he announced that he would give his daughter's hand in marriage, and half the kingdom, to any man who could bring him an animal with one hundred and fifty-two tails. --Oniyeye & King Oludotun's Daughter, African Folktales, Fables and legends The book is an amalgamation of tales from various African cultures and civilizations. From the Maasai and luhya tribe of Kenya to the Yoruba and kamwe people of Northern Nigeria, Zimbabwe and South Africa. This book combines different African flavours, which comprises of folktales, fables, legends and other African adventures told from the old.
