Description:
This anthology is comprised of so-called Onitsha Market Literature which was an indigenous Nigerian publishing phenomenon that started at the end of World War II and lasted until the Biafra War. It has since perished; few pamphlets are available in Nigeria itself, never mind worldwide. This anthology is culled from the editor's private collection which he has been amassing for 20 years. It includes, in addition to excerpts, five complete texts, and is illustrated with original cover art and line drawings.
