Product Description

Description

In these captivating tales, Olabode Ogunlana weaves love stories rooted in the rich oral traditions of the Yoruba people. Blending folklore with modern life, he brings to life unforgettable characters who navigate passion, patience, jealousy, destiny and redemption. Set in authentic Nigerian landscapes—vibrant markets, royal courts, quiet compounds and moonlit gardens—each story unfolds with humour, tenderness and moral insight. Whether love triumphs after trial or reveals itself through disguise and devotion, Ogunlana writes with an ear for the rhythm of Yoruba speech and the wisdom of proverb. Both timeless and contemporary, these stories celebrate romance in its most human and culturally resonant form.

Olabode Ogunlana, very much like a character in one of his stories, is one of those rare leaves, because having achieved much in the world of business, he has now set out on a new challenge – to share the Yoruba folklore handed down to him from an oral tradition that stretches back centuries, but is being lost, both to Yoruba speakers, and to the world. Ogunlana experienced at first hand the transition from predominantly oral cultures to the variety of means we have to share our stories today.

Charity Shop FAQs

We try our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. After dispatch, our standard delivery (Royal Mail First Class) typically arrives the next day in the UK (but can take up to 7 days), in 6 days to the EU and 10 days worldwide. It is important to note that delivery times are out of our control, as we do not deliver the goods ourselves.

If the error is ours, we will reprint free of charge. If the error is yours, we will reprint for 25% of the original amount. If we have sent you the wrong size garment, we will absolutely remake it for you in the right size when you return it. 

The guidance measurements given next to the shirts are supposed to represent what size person they fit. They are not the actual measurements of the garment itself, which naturally need to be larger than the person they are designed to fit.

Firstly, please ignore the washing instructions in the garment itself. These are for blank garments and not printed ones.

Wash your shirts at 40 degrees or less. Iron on reverse (cool). Do not tumble dry.

Whilst Royal Mail normally deliver all first class post within 1-2 working days, they can on occasion take longer. In the unlikely event that your goods do not arrive, allow 7 days before calling us. We cannot authorise any remakes before this time has passed as Royal Mail have been known to deliver within this time.

However, if you paid to have Express delivery, contact us immediately as we can provide you with the tracking reference to chase it with the carrier.
