Superstition has, since time immemorial, been a living organism in man’s life. But particularly in Ghana and Africa in general, every misfortune and every mishap are always blamed and placed on one figure in the society – the ‘old woman’ – usually regarded as a witch without trying to find the root cause of such misfortune.

In this book, the author attempts to reveal more superstitious elements in man, and ridicules the society through his pivotal character – Kofi Brenya. Assisted by other minor characters, Brenya helps to display such usual superstition at its greatest height.
