Prepare to be enchanted! Esteem MultiMedia’s newest release, The Tale of the Cow Tail & Other Stories from the African Diaspora ($12.95, 2012) is a captivating journey into African traditions, culture and lifestyles. Through the eyes of Nigerian writer, Lanre Ogundimu, the reader is offered an intensely personal look at the magic of the Motherland and the mystery of its customs. The eclectic collection of sagas -- both fiction and non-fiction -- shatters myths and unveils hidden truths in a part of the world that is ripe with beauty and intrigue. Ogundimu skillfully explores a little known side of African life -- from schoolyard bullies to enduring friendship, from childhood fears and fantasies to whirling, acrobatic dancers. All this against the backdrop of a beautiful country side, dotted with Baobab trees and thrust amid the syncopated rhythm of Yoruba songs, chants and drums. The reader can almost hear the music, and smell the aroma of the rich stews and tangy, seasoned root vegetables. Ogundimu takes everyone who dares on an adventure so fascinating, it’s hard to return. The Tale of the Cow Tail & Other Stories from the African Diaspora is available on amazon.com and esteemmultimedia.com For more information, contact Denise Crittendon at dcrittendon@esteemmultimedia.com or Lanre Ogundimu at iseowo2004@yahoo.com |
