Synopsis

Africa evokes in travellers a deep recognition, an inexplicable yearning to return. It is a place which retains what most of the world has lost: space; roots; traditions; awesome beauty; true wilderness; rare animals; extraordinary people. It will always attract those who can still dream. In this wonderful collection of stories, a gathering of treasured memories, Kuki Gallmann unveils this side of the Africa that she knows and loves. She approaches her familiar world with wonder and delight, rejoicing in each new experience, each rediscovery of the mysterious land which has become her home with all its superstitions, its beliefs, its pervasive heat and above all its magic.
