Azaro is a spirit child who is born only to live for a short while before returning to the idyllic world of his spirit companions. Now he has chosen to stay in the world of the living.

Tells the tale of a prince and a maiden in a mythical land where a golden age is ending. This title considers the important questions we face, exploring creativity, wisdom, suffering and transcendence in a time when imagination still ruled the world.

Brings both poetry and story together in a different form, using writing and image pared down to their essentials, where haiku and story meet. This title offers a different, transcendent way of looking at our extreme, gritty world - and shows the wealth of freedom that's available beyond the confines of our usual perceptions.

Azaro is a spirit child who is born only to live for a short while before returning to the idyllic world of his spirit companions. Now he has chosen to stay in the world of the living.

This collection of short stories is set in Nigeria and reflects the mad, exotic and often dangerous chaos which reigns there. They include jumbled up voodoo stories, stories of shanty towns and of men from the villages seeking their fortunes in the streets and filthy gutters of the new towns.

Tells the story of a prince and a maiden who are tested by trials in a mythical land where art, initiation and dynamic stillness are supremely important. This book aims to open up the nature of reality, where the essence of life is revealed, and the source of enchantment can be ours - where beauty, regeneration and fulfilment are perhaps possible.

Presents the adventures of Azaro.

An inspirational work of psychological observation, two dogs are given the gift of speech for a day and set about satirising their various human masters.

In the chaotic world of his African village, the spirit-child Azaro still watches the tumultuous and tender lives of the Living; of his father who has been imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and of his mother who battles for justice.

This epic poem is intended as a celebration of humanity's achievements at the end of this millennium, and a rallying cry for the next. Strongly political, the poem touches on issues of racism, intolerance, and environmental destruction, amongst others.

This is the story of Omovo, an office worker and artist, who lives with his father and step-mother. In the communal world of the compound, Omovo has both friends and enemies, but most importantly there is Ifeyinwa, a beautiful married woman whom he loves with a passion.
