The boy slave was about Shettima who was kidnapped and sold to a faraway land. He became friends with the prince of the land after he saved him from a ferocious guard's horsewhip. The sequel was The return of the boyslave. Koku Baboni I think was about a baby placed in a basket and dumped in a forest. The late Mabel Segun- My father's daughter. Ishilove: 1 Like |
