About this ebook
Iredi War was the winner of The Nigeria Prize for Literature 2014. The playwright introduces the notion of folk script with its special stamp. The use of the oral literature genre allows for the full exploitation of the creative licence which allows for the swings from the historical to the oral, the natural to the supernatural, the real to the fantastic.
