The Game of Love: A Classical Drama from West Africa

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Edition not stated. Foreword by J. A. Nnadozie. Slim octavo. 52pp. Cover halftone of two Caucasian women captioned: "Mary says to Rose: 'This Booklet is very good for Bachelors and Married people.'" Stapled printed pink wrappers. Staples a bit oxidized, a near fine copy. A delightfully job-printed piece of Nigerian "Onitsha Market Literature," promising to help bachelors find a mate and married couples "not misunderstand themselves." Topics include how to write love letters and letters of marriage (plus a few love poems), much advice, and several dramatic pieces featuring Agnes and her friend, mother and father (who is a Chief), and beau. An interesting and uncommon book claiming to help the reader understand the logic of the human heart.
