Synopsis
The Lion and the Jewel
Published by Oxford University Press
The main characters are Sidi (the Jewel), 'a true village belle' and Baroka (the Lion), the crafty and powerful Bale of the village, Lakunle, the young teacher, influenced by western ways, and Sadiku, the eldest of Baroka's wives
How the Lion hunts the Jewel is the theme of this ribald comedy
