The book starts of with the history of the the Aboakyer Festival of the people of Winneba in the Central Region of Ghana. What were the origins of the festival? Why the need for the hunt of the deer? How were ancient rituals modernized and why? The poem in the book, "The Deer Hunt" speaks about this Festival. One of the most magical elements of this poem is the fact that the ceremony being showcased is narrated through the point of view of a child. A child who must come from a regal lineage of some sort to be so close to the preparations towards the hunt. This book contains historical facts about the festival, a breakdown of the poem and its structure which can be used for study and pictures of the festival events. The choice of a child narrator gives the poem a peculiar tone of good cheer, simplicity and festivity. The imagery created by the words of the child narrator evokes an atmosphere that is a mixture of tension, relief and celebration. Here we re-live the experience of the Deer Hunt Festival.
