"The author knows his subject, not as an observant, impressionable tourist, but as a man who has lived among the Ibos for many years."—Birmingham Gazette.
"The classical authority on the very curious people it describes."—Record.
"A comprehensive study of the customs and beliefs of the Ibo people, describing their marriage usages, their burial rites, their arts, crafts, music, trade and currency; their ways of making war; their religious beliefs (so far as these can be accurately discovered), and their sacrificial rites.... There are nearly forty admirable photographs."—Times.
"A mass of information about Ibo life and character and customs which is probably unique, and which no British official or trader can ever hope to possess; and the substance of this information the author has condensed into these twenty-five well arranged and well written chapters."—Record.
"He tells us what he knows about the Ibos—and he knows a great deal.... He knows too much to dogmatise.... What he does say one accepts without question.—Times.
