Farafina Book Reviews @ Terra – Starbook
Do you absolutely love African tales? Then, join Chris Ihidero and Molara Wood as they revisit the ancient African storytelling tradition. They will be reviewing Starbook, a tale of a prince and a maiden who are tested by trials in a mythical land where art, imitation and dynamic stillness are supremely important. Written by Ben Okri, Starbook is one book that borrows copiously from African oral tradition. Undoubtedly, this edition promises to be exciting as on air radio personality, Wana of Inspiration FM would be moderating.
