Review
"This book presents a positive and fascinating account of traditional medicine , and a brief note on ethnobiology which has arisen from it. It is superbly illustrated with the author's own photographs of contemporary Nigerian community life, and of the raw materials of grandfather's trade. This is an unusual and very rewarding book." -- Books For Keeps July 1998
