Description

This is the story of Ajaiyi, a man born into poverty who is determined to improve his situation.

In the hope of finding the money he needs, he travels through unfamiliar lands filled with strange creatures.

He meets the Spirit of Fire with its huge feathered head and flaming body, and receives assistance from a wizard and a unicorn.

Yet, in the end, the answer to his woes is not far from home. Amos Tutuola was born in Abeokuta, Nigeria, in 1920.

His first novel, The Palm-Wine Drinkard, was acquired by T.

S. Eliot and published by Faber in 1952.
