The Village Witch Doctor | What Do I Read Next?

The Palm-Wine Drinkard and His Dead Palm-Wine Tapster in the Deads' Town (1952) is Tutuola' s first novel, an epic adventure loosely linking together a number of traditional Yoruba folktales.

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1954), Tutuola's second novel, was as enthusiastically received in England and the U.S. as was his first.

Ajaiyi and His Inherited Poverty (1967) is the novel on which the short story "The Village Witch Doctor" is based.

Yoruba Folktales (1986) was compiled and translated by Tutuola.
