Clifford Samuel is an Award Nominated Actor and writes for the stage and screen. He's of Nigerian heritage and has strong Igbo roots. His first introduction to literature in childhood was Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. One of the chapters includes a compelling re-telling of this fable. It left a lasting memory and inspired Clifford to write this story. This is his first book for children.
