If you thought fairies were solely dainty creatures of glens and dales then think again, because in this episode we introduce you to a host of fairies from Benin and the Ashanti people of Ghana. From funky healing powers to a banana obsession, these fairies have it all. Then we delve into the storied origins of the Hausa tribe of West Africa, featuring the heroic snake-slayer, Bayajidda.
