Book
8vo; original light brown boards, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 191; line drawings in text. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed, with merest trace of edgewear, and sunned on spine panel; some foxing to reverse of dustwrapper and to endpapers. Very good condition. "Living in the wilderness they [Ken and Lynne Tinley] discovered a wealth of wonders. Sketching this far-off world of risk and hardship in words and pictures Lynne conveys images of great beauty, controversial biology, anthropology and veld humour. Moreover she provides a vivid and entertaining account of how to raise a boy and girl in the bush. Together the family survives terrorist raids, charging hippo, elephant and lion, rabid dog bites, baboon spiders, alcoholic snails, dangling camel membranes, and the Fat Mouse. They eat elephant trunk Portuguese-style and termites cooked by bushmen.".
