I was already stretched to my limit before I started the book. I bought two copies of this book, one for each daughter. This book covered multiple dimensions of conjuring: from using black magic to control spirits, outwitting the tricksters, initiating curses, belief in shape-shifting to the making and manipulation of zombies. Or if the current girlfriend/fiancé/wife is pregnant, she’s most likely pregnant by someone else and attempt and foist the child on the cuckolded boyfriend/fiancé/husband. I certainly love the concept and text of "Won't You Be My Kissaroo?" When coupled with Melissa Sweet's illustrations this it becomes just the sweetest little book ever. His successes, failures, and discussions of his effects make it a very informative book. Still, the only reason this view was/is adopted because it was fashionable to believe that no African peoples were capable of developing a great civilization !(). The catalogue was printed in Europe. . I believe it will be a very valuable resource as a reference. For pity's sake: am I the only one who paid attention in school?. My daughter who is now 16 used to love this book and then we donated it to charity when she got older. I recommend this book to even the curious person who wants a better understanding of retirement and pension plans.I will always refer back to the two texts
