“A joy to read; his glorious imagination captured ours” -Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Guardian

“One of the most prolific African writers of the twentieth century” -Charles R. Larson

“Magical occurrences, mysterious and seductive women, acts of phenomenal heroism, and swift-paced adventure” -Margaret Laurence

Book Description

In this groundbreaking novella, Cyprian Ekwensi narrates the spectacular adventures of the Funali Sunsayes, a nomadic family whose lives are turned upside down when their great leader, Chief Mai, is cursed by his rival to the throne.

He was educated at Ibadan University College and at the Chelsea School of Pharmacy in London before undertaking a range of careers as a teacher, forester, pharmacist, broadcaster and film-maker.

His 1954 novel, People of the City, gained instant international acclaim and was one of the first Nigerian novels to be published in Britain. Since then, Ekwensi has been known as a pioneering icon of Nigerian literature.
