Collected by Yoruba poet Bakare Gbadamosi and scholar Ulli Beier, Not Even God Is Ripe Enough is a mesmerising collection of traditional oral stories and lighthearted Yoruba fables.
Including stories such as ''Kindness won''t kill you but it can give you a lot of worries'', ''He who shits on the road will meet flies on his return'' and ''You can fool others but can you fool yourself?'' Not Even God is Ripe Enough is a wide-ranging selection of amusing Yoruba proverbs and tales of magical realism.
From bizarre stories of talking animals to wise parables passed down from generation to generation, these stories are full of surprising twists, humour, and the surreal.
