"Ogoni storytelling was a creative delight--a night and sometimes daytime event. Because of their imaginaive and artistic underpinning, children were encouraged to siet and listen to stories -- most of which were thought-provoking yet funny in many ways. They also generated sympathy and empathy, even respect and honor, like certain scenes in movies that are representations of sociocultural and political experiences in many cases despite some fictional elements." -- Opposite verso page.
