Cute stories. Enjoyable experience. Not much else to say, but I always appreciate broadening my knowledge of folktale/mythology.

I really enjoyed the concept behind this book of short stories and Babalola is a great storyteller. Some stories I enjoyed significantly more than others, namely Attuen, Siya and Nefertiti. Others, while very sweet, made me inwardly cringe a bit even though I understood the sentiment. All in all a good read!
