Fagunwa's novels draw heavily on [[Folklore|folktale]] traditions and idioms, including many [[supernatural]] elements. His heroes are usually Yoruba hunters, who interact with kings, sages, and even gods in their quests. Thematically, his novels also explore the divide between the Christian beliefs of Africa's [[colonialism|colonizers]] and the continent's traditional religions. Fagunwa remains the most widely read Yorùbá-language author, and a major influence on such contemporary writers as [[Amos Tutuola]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Okpewho|first=Isidore|authorlink=Isidore Okpewho|title=African Oral Literature: backgrounds, character, and continuity|year=1992|publisher=Indiana University Press|isbn=0-253-34167-1|page=305}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| last=Gikandi|first=Simon|authorlink=Simon Gikandi|title=Encyclopedia of African Literature|year=2003|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=0-415-23019-5|pages=252–255}}</ref> He also used Greek myths and Shakespearean stories as themes in his books, such as in his book [[Igbo Olodumare]], where the character Baba-onirugbon-yeuke tells a story similar to Romeo and Juliet.
D. O. Fagunwa was the first Nigerian writer to employ folk philosophy in telling his stories.
Fagunwa was awarded the [[Margaret Wrong Prize]] in 1955 and was made a [[Member of the Order of the British Empire]] in 1959. He died in a river in 1963; the ground by the bank of the river apparently gave way under his feet and he fell into the river. He tried to swim out of the water but sank because the canoe by the river also fell and collapsed on him.<ref>''Nigerian Punch'' newspaper, 12 August 2013 edition.</ref><ref>[http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/fagunwa-wrote-first-novel-bush/ "Fagunwa wrote his first novel in the bush"], ''Vanguard'' (Nigeria), 18 June 2016.</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=D.O.

==Legacy==
Fagunwa Memorial High School and Fagunwa Grammar School in [[Oke-Igbo]], Nigeria, are named for Fagunwa. His daughter, Yejide Ogundipe, serves as a council chairperson for [[Ile Oluji/Okeigbo]]. Fagunwa day (formerly known as Fagunwa night) is an annual event aimed at reading and promoting his five books. Fagunwa day was initiated in his honour by the Society of Young Nigerian Writers in conjunction with Fagunwa Literary Society and [[Egbe Omo Oduduwa|Egbe Odo]] Onkowe Ede Yoruba.
