Martha Matsvai, in this her third book, waxes lyrical as she digs deep into the cultural reservoir of folk tales to present stories around the mysterious and enigmatic Chemakanda whose magnetic attraction to children knew no bounds. In these truly engaging short stories, with some of them being anthropomorphic (where an animal acts like a human being) like the golden folktales of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, the reader is invited into an atmosphere of captivating intrigue which makes it impossible to put the book down before the story is done. The stories are full of adventure, humour and perennial lessons on human living across the age spectrum which leave one with a sense of deep satisfaction and therapeutic engagement. One cannot wait to ‘devour’ them all. Welcome to Chemakanda’s world… Dr Paul Matsvai Series Editor
