Igbó Olódùmarè (English translation: The Forest of God) is the second novel by the Yorùbá author D. O. Fágúnwà, published in 1949 by Thomas Nelson.

[1] It is a prequel to his first book and details the adventures of Olowo-Aiye, the father of the protagonist in Ògbójú Ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irúnmọlẹ̀.

He first arrives at Igbo Idakeroro, the Forest of Impenetrable Silence where he is confronted by Esu-kekere-ode, Tiny Fiend of the Border, and the two begin to fight.

Upon entering the forest, Olowo-Aiye meets Anjonnu-iberu, the Ghommid-of-Fear and Guardian of the Gateway to Igbó Olódùmarè.

For several years he lives in a cave until one day, during a storm, he enters a passageway in a rock and finds himself in a hall filled with birds.

A man then appears to Olowo-Aiye and brings him to the home of the Furry-Bearded-One, who resides on the promontory of the rock, Baba Onirugbon-yeuke.

On the third day, Furry-Bearded-One tells stories to Olowo-Aiye about the corrupting power of wealth, the importance of marriage and the dangers of envy, unbridled ambition, ungratefulness and wickedness.
