Product Description
Product Description
The staggering beauty and harmony of life on the savannahs of East Africa; the poignancy of the story of the young elephant, born with a leg problem and struggling to survive; the hunting skills of the pride of lions stalking their prey among the tall savannah grasses; the strange antics of the fighting giraffes battling for mating supremacy; the wise words of the seasoned African safari guide revealing the intricacies and subtleties of savannah life to his unthinking client, whom he converts to a passionate supporter of African wildlife. All of this and much more is told through the eyes of a great and mature Acacia tree standing in a commanding position in an East African savannah, giving a unique perspective on the habits and values of the wildlife and people in this staggeringly beautiful part of the world. A first novel by a young author, this story will appeal to all who have a great love of Africa, who enjoy stories about animals, those who enjoy adventure travel and anyone who enjoys a good read with an enlightening and optimistic view for the way ahead for mankind and planet Earth.
