Step into the world of the ancient Kingdom of Benin and explore its captivating history, culture and legacy with author David Long. Under the rule of the Oba, the Kingdom of Benin was one of the richest and most powerful in West Africa. Its vibrant cities boasted impressive palaces and intricate artworks, while the Edo people worked as skilled artisans, formidable hunters and talented traders. Yet as European influence began to grow, so did the challenges that faced the Benin kingdom. From the omnipotent power of their warrior-kings to the devastating impact of the slave trade, David Long unearths the remarkable stories of daily life, trade, and the unique culture of the Edo people.
