The Forest of a Thousand Daemons
Ògbójú Ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irúnmọlẹ̀ (English title: The Forest of a Thousand Daemons - A Hunter's Saga; Literal translation: A Brave Hunter in the Forest of Demons) is a 1938 novel by D.O. Fagunwa. It was the first full-length novel in Yoruba, and was one of the first novels to be written in any African language. It contains the picaresque tales of a Yoruba hunter whose name is Akara-ogun (Compound-of-spells) and one of the formidable hunters of a bygone age, who encountered folklore elements, such as magic, monsters, ghommids, spirits, and gods. It was followed by a sequel, Igbo Olodumare, which was actually a prequel to the book and discusses the tales of Olowo-Aiye, father of Akara-Ogun.
