Tambari in Dukana

“Tambari is a book chronicling the adventures of a young African boy.
Ken Saro Wiwa’s use of words and imagery was impeccable. He described each scene eloquently; I’ve never seen nature described enticingly.
Lessons were wrapped nicely on every page of the story.

Plot:
It was set at a time when Nigeria was a lot better to live in. A time when trains were properly managed and a time when train officials knew their duties.

pg.49 of the book made me smile wistfully for it evoked childhood memories long forgotten. I’d recommend the book to lovers of African culture and most especially secondary school students.
Its a 5 out of 5.“
