This book is a collection of 27 charmingly humorous, evocative and often deeply moving stories about life in the remote Gwaai Forest Reserve in the Matabeleland province of Rhodesia. The author rights gently and affectionately of an unspoilt world - of the many forest animals, some of whom became pets for a time; of the birds which enchant the veldt; of the simple and endearing people who inhabit the Gwaai area; of African custom, superstition and legend; of the great trees of the forest and its people. Here is the real Rhodesia - rugged, beautiful, still resisting the encoachment of 'progress.' An absolutely charming and wonderful book that tells the story of a beautiful piece of the country and life there. Book is hardback, though dustcover showing minor wear the book is in very good condition, size just over A4 - small tabale top.
