It was first published in 1966 by Cambridge University Press, with illustrations by Prue Theobalds, and was the first of several children's stories Achebe would write. PlotIt is the story of a Nigerian boy called Chike who leaves his village, Umuofia, to go and stay with his uncle in the big city of Onitsha.[1] ReviewsReviewing a 2011 reprint of the book, New York Journal of Books said: "In Chike and the River, young readers get an intimate look at African life, learn about the Niger River, and connect with Chike as if he is their own sibling. The brilliance of Mr. Achebe’s prose is his ability to make a reader feel like an omniscient sprite on Chike’s shoulder: along for the ride and privy to all that he senses and sees."[2] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Ulin|first1=David L.|title=Book review: 'Chike and the River' by Chinua Achebe|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2011/08/book-review-chinua-achebes-chike-and-the-river.html|website=The Los Angeles Times|publisher=latimesblogs.latimes.com|accessdate=13 April 2016|date=August 16, 2011}} {{Portal |Children's literature}}{{Chinua Achebe}}{{1960s-child-novel-stub}}{{nigeria-novel-stub}}2. ^Gabriel Constans, review of Chike and the River, New York Journal of Books, 9 August 2011. 6 : Novels by Chinua Achebe|1966 novels|Novels set in Africa|Children's novels|Nigerian English-language novels|1966 children's books |
