Henry Adewumi

In this beautifully crafted book, Henry Adewumi explores the fascinating lives of common and
majestic animals such as the lion, elephant, tortoise and antelope, while unveiling their native names
in English, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and French. More than just a naming guide, this book offers insights
into the roles these animals play in traditional African societies—from spiritual symbolism and
folklore to daily life, food, and festivity.
