Divine has collected 20 tales, both classic and new, with the aim of preserving Nigerian's oldest stories and sharing them with children around the world. These stories, including The King and the JuJu Tree and Iyeji and Ikinabo, offer universal insights into humanity, animals, and the mystical. Most of these tales were originally told in various Nigerian languages around evening fires, and were translated into French and European languages in the 19th and 20th centuries. These folktales showcase the timeless craft of storytelling and the power of myth.
