Customer Reviews

Fascinating visual art

I purchased this originally in hardback as a gift for my husband, who is from Nigeria. We were so impressed by the artwork and detailed illustrations, that I purchased additional used softback copies for donation to the library at the Mona School, a Montessori-based private primary and secondary school in Sapele, Nigeria, not far from Benin City (the town on which the book is based).
