Review:
"The Lost World of the Kalahari (1958) and The Heart of the Hunter (1961)...are loathed by San scholars and serious ethnologists. But they matter. Van der Post gave a face and a story to a discarded people before anyone else thought to do so." (Guardian)
"A master storyteller, he had the knack of identifying the significant, poetical image" (Sunday Times)
