For an audience to agree that indeed here is a masterpiece of a story, it would have been narrated by an engaging orator who satisfies the ear. A story can be told by various storytellers but it is the way in which it is told that merits it as a story worthy to be told. If a story is told with exceptional oratory, it gains the classic story tag. The storyteller in turn comes to be recognised as a classic storyteller.

Rarely seen pathways were exposed taking us to the forecourt where various themes are laid bare for all to see. Themes on life gone by, life now and life in the future all presented.
This shows that our country is richly endowed with gifted storytellers and our great culture prevails.Reading this book evokes memories of a life gone by while awakening the reader's inert knowledge of phenomena.
