Long Long Ago contains "six
imaginary stories".
The story of The man who knew everything tells of the giant Booboo and
a diminutive man ("whose name and origin no one knew") who knows everything.
This tale too is a simple sort of folk-tale, nicely (if very quickly) spun out. The fourth tale sees the return of the clever rogue Abanidiegwu (familiar, in naiver form, from Smile Awhile (see our review)). The clever rogue has now had more success -- he is now "the richest man in the whole land of Potopo".
A firm believer that: "Opportunity must be seized", the Clever Rogue sets about trying to win over Obioma.
The final tale is told in the first person, recounting My
adventure -- described as "a true record of my
imaginary adventure".
Long Long Ago is an odd collection of dissimilar tales.
