My Once Upon a Time Published by Abacus (2000 / 2001)

Adebayo is a real find, and My Once Upon a Time a magical fairy-tale for our times" Daily Telegraph "Boasting all the vibrant wit, imagination and emotion of a true classic, My Once Upon A Time effortlessly blends past myth with future realism in groundbreaking-style. Adebayo has created a Pilgrim's Progress for our times." Straight No Chaser

Some Kind of Black Published by Virago (1996) and Abacus (1997)
		"Has the rare, incandescent energy of a story that's never been told. A classic coming-of-age tale...marks the debut of a serious talent." GQ "It is difficult to discuss the book without talking in terms of its uniqueness - and without resorting to superlatives...a tremendously rich, subtle and nuanced read." The Scotsman
