The "New York Times Book Review" called this account of growing up in Nigeria during World War II "a classic of African autobiography, indeed a classic of childhood memories." The author, a Nigerian Nobel Prize-winning playwright, recalls his Yoruba childhood, always mystified by the irrational and hypocritical adult world that surrounds him.
