Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. Dust jacket. Reputedly King Charles' favourite author who evinces a consistent vision of an adventurous pioneer exploring not just the outward turbulence of the world but the patterns and paradoxes of human life, its myths and dreams. At least that vague statement is in the blurb. While he writes beautifully of the natural world, what are his ideological and political values? As a South African in the British Army (and captured by the Japanese), what were his view of apartheid? 256 pages. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas at least £9.40. Seller Inventory # 4348
