This book tells stories about many strange characters like witches, witchdoctors, mediums, diviners, mystics, ghosts, ogres, mermen and mermaids, human beings who claim to be able to change into wild animals, wild animlas possessed by strange wisdom or spirits. Here are the myths of the mountains, the rivers, waterfalls and forests; the wonderful dreams of many people whose minds have groped in the dark in search of a tiny light to illuminate the immensity of space and the baffling riddles of the universe.
