    'Fantastic' – James O'Brien 
    The brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare 
    'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend 
    The brightest heaven of pretention! 
    A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act, 
    Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’ 
    So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play. 
    In five acts that take in five prime ministers, The Tories: A Tragedy is a captivatingly realised Jacobean tragedy, replete with Machiavellian manoeuvrings, hilarious mechanicals and poignant verse. Publishing in the shadow of the most significant election since the Tories came to power in 2010, this exhilarating, original book is an alternative history of a disastrous reign – a drama that will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, and those who simply love to laugh at the Tory party. 
    With a keen eye for parodies and humor, Morris masterfully weaves ideologies of conservatism and liberalism into a theater of politics. His playwriting process, a performing art in itself, brings to life the parties and their top players in a non-fiction narrative that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. 
    For fans of Robert Jobson (Diana), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Richard Osman (The World Cup Of Everything), The Secret Barrister (Nothing But The Truth), and Tina Brown (The Palace Papers).

    African mythology is a vast and intricate tapestry woven from the oral traditions of countless ethnic groups across the continent. Unlike written records, these stories have been passed down through generations by storytellers, elders, and spiritual leaders who use them to explain the world, instill moral values, and preserve the history of their people. The myths and legends of Africa are deeply connected to the land, the ancestors, and the spiritual beliefs that guide daily life. They reflect not only the diversity of the continent but also the shared themes that bind its cultures together.  
    Myths in African societies serve multiple functions beyond simple entertainment. They provide explanations for natural phenomena, such as the origins of the sun, moon, and stars, as well as the formation of rivers and mountains. Many myths are also tied to religious beliefs, detailing the actions of gods, spirits, and ancestors who shape the destiny of human beings. These stories help maintain social order by offering lessons about morality, justice, and respect for tradition. In many communities, mythology is a central aspect of spiritual life, reinforcing the belief that the unseen world is just as real and influential as the physical one.  
    Oral tradition is the primary vehicle for preserving African myths and legends. Storytelling is an art form, often accompanied by music, dance, and dramatic performance. The storyteller, known in some cultures as a griot, holds a respected position in society, responsible for keeping the wisdom of the past alive. These narratives evolve over time, adapting to new circumstances while retaining their core lessons. Because of this, African folklore is dynamic, shaped by the voices of those who tell and retell the stories.
