Synopsis

Guide To The Birds Of East Africa, A by Drayson, Nicholas

About this title

Review:

A book of immense charm; a sort of P G Wodehouse meets Alexander McCall Smith (Joanne Harris)

An enchanting comedy of bird-watching, love and African life (Woman & Home)

A delightful comedy... It invites comparison to The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency books, but it's original and, if anything, has more depth (Daily Mail)

Sweet, charming and utterly wonderful on the subject of birds (Metro)

A perfect holiday read (Prima)

A charming satire - think William Boyd's A Good Man of Africa with a dash of Alexander McCall Smith (Conde Nast Traveller)

Heart-warming, I was charmed . . . akin to the No 1 Ladies Detective AgencySeries [with] a flavour all its own (Richard Fortey)

Drayson's tale, spiked with a comtemporary sensibility and wit, teases apart the strands of life in Nairobi... More than that, it's a page-turner... Charming, certainly, but far from cloying (Wanderlust)

About the Author:
