Èṣù, as the first Orisha, is well-worshipped and extremely respected in Yorùbáland because he is literally present in everything; in nature, in objects and in the physical human body. For this reason, Èṣù is present in the majority of stories related to an infinite number of topics, as well as his relationship with the other Orishas in the Yorùbá pantheon.

In this collection, Alex Cuoco presents 80 fascinating Èṣù tales that are retold with great skill and rhythm, in which Èṣù appears at his best, in various forms: as a trickster, messenger, instigator, officer and enforcer of the laws of Òrun (Heaven), as well as moderator, master-punisher, advisor, mediator, helper and administrator. The variety of themes of these tales affords the reader an acquaintance with the good and mischievous aspects of Èṣù.

The reader will also experience Èṣù's sexual appetite and unusual sense of humor, which when combined, become a prominent aspect of Èṣù's explosive and surprising personality. In this manner, Tales of Èṣù offers the reader the opportunity to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of Èṣù's character and his divine Àṣẹ (Power).
