This short story collection is heavily influenced by Yoruba culture and legends. It features folklore, magical and supernatural elements and is an interesting observation on human behaviour.
Overall I enjoyed some of the the stories, it was interesting to learn about the Yoruba culture, but most of stories were just fine and didn’t particularly stick out. However I have read some great reviews of Tutuola’s previous books, so I will definitely consider picking up more of his work in the future.
