The Brave African Huntress by Amos Tutuola

This is the story of Adebisi, a brave African huntress who sets out for the Jungle of the Pigmies to rescue her four brothers.

Along the way, she conquers a giant, serves as the barber to a king and endures the horrors of the pigmies' prison. Yet she will not give up.

By employing her strength and intelligence, she finds a way to release her brothers and returns home to a hero's welcome.
