    Five Books That Are Magical

    SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 AT 3:40:11 AM
     
    EUGENIA ABU

    Loving books expands your knowledge Base and gives you pleasure. Having read many books, I still revel in books that gave me a sense of wonder when I was a young adult. Those books gave me a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach and many years later, I still feel the same way just thinking about it. I am particularly enamoured of magical stories. You feel like you travelled to a new colourful country until you finish the book. Between the book covers, I tend to travel read. That out of body experience that makes you feel you are in the setting with all the characters. It’s as if you arrive in LaLa Land and everything is sprinkled in gold dust. Magical. I am a dreamer. I believe those stories I read many years ago have turned me into a storyteller. My fashion forward daughter Donna is also an aspiring writer and her first unpublished novel when she was twelve was a magical book.

    A place where bad kids are taken to behave themselves. Wonder, magic, nirvana. In times of difficulty, economic downturns and health crisis, magical stories can give us comfort. We leave the reality at least momentarily to help us cope with the present. I have re- read some magical books from my childhood in this pandemic and added others. Everyone must read some magical books at this time. Let’s escape Coronavirus for a while, the data, the deaths, just get a break.
    It is possible. Here are my recommendations.
    1. Amos Tutuola’s The Forest of a Thousand Daemons. An incredible book translated by the author in an English all of his own. This book I lived in. Full of magic and spirits and close call escapes. This is the first full length Yoruba novel and one of the first novel in any African country. It is the tales of a Yoruba hunter Akara-Ogun who encounters magical beings including spirits, God’s, ghommets and all manners of spiritual beings in a the forest of a thousand demons. A book to be read re- read. A magical book to be enjoyed.
    2. Alice in wonderland by Lewis Carol. I read this book as a nine year old. Read it again as a teenager and read it as an adult. In the last two years U have re-reads it and watched the movie. Nothing can trump childhood magical like Alice in wonderland. Alice falls down the rabbit hole and finds herself in wonderland. We can do nothing else but follow her in this amazing place meeting all the magical characters. The queen of hearts whose stock in trade is cutting people’s heads, the jabber work and a crazy tea party. Go and find it. Read it and shut out Coronavirus for a while.
