Quid Pro Quo and Other Narratives: Revised
()
About this ebook
Quid Pro Quo and Other Narratives is a classic Poetry Book divided into Book One and Book Two.
Book One ruminates over the non-literate pantheistic world of the Yoruba people, from which we learn about divinity-philosopher Oduduwa's take on Quid Pro Quo.
Book Two sheds an iridescent light on the philosophical, literary and religious earth-bound journey narratives of the twelve most prominent divinity-philosophers in Yoruba-land.
