In Africa, it is believed that a people that do not know their past cannot tell their future. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why the continent is rich in folktales. Folklore helps in preserving African values and customary believes handed down from generations. Sadly, this way of transferring the wisdom of elders and cultural heritage is fast losing its grip in modern-day Africa. Akunna and the Lost King packs a punch of masterfully crafted folktales that will transport young readers into a world of colourful African myths. It is a must read for all those who want a taste of meaningful tales that resonates.

In the book “Akunna and the Lost King and Other Tales”, the author explores a bold and fresh perspective to African folktales. As a prolific writer who understands her craft, she takes us on a journey of conflicts, heroes, and villains that will last in the imagination of readers. She easily conveys these folktales with everyday expressions that keeps her young readers glued from one story to another. Akunna and the Lost King covers nine stories with diverse emotions and spectacular nuance. It can pass for any junior high-class textbook or the reading pleasure of children willing to explore African folktales around the world. I strongly recommend it.

My children found “Omasili and the Mysterious Goat” educative and quite entertaining. These set of folktales celebrate positive values, while disparaging greed, lust, and negative ambition. I was captivated by the well orchestrated folktales and honestly believe that Children regardless of their background will enjoy reading the book from cover to cover. Two thumbs Up for the Author.
