Among the contenders: His High Mighty Excellency; the eponymous Wizard, an avatar of folklore and wisdom; the corrupt Christian Ministry; and the nefarious Global Bank. Fashioning the stories of the powerful and the ordinary into a dazzling mosaic, Wizard of the Crow reveals humanity in all its endlessly surprising complexity.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"duttyboukman.art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41312696664216,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3935\/8872\/products\/DSC_0449copy.jpg?v=1637117778","url":"https:\/\/duttyboukman.art\/products\/ngugi-wa-thiongo-wizard-of-the-crow-2006-1st-edition-1st-printing-hardcover-novel","provider":"Dutty Boukman","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
