Fr Eugen Nkardzedze has provided a vindicating account of the juiciest myths and legends of Nkar that does justice to history, culture, religion, and the general anthropology of the people of Nkar. Very few people would tell those stories with the reliable authority and authenticity of this talented son of the soil, who has done it with all the strength of his humour and literary prowess. He has opened the door to more works of this kind to follow.
