Trade Review
I rank Laurens van der Post with the best writers of English - this book confirms my constant admiration and the nobility of his mind -- Raymond Mortimer * Sunday Times *
Bushmen, Africa, the relation of man to animals (beautiful stories about elephants), Japan and Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, the forgiveness of enemies, June, spiritual growth, Churchill, Smuts, Mountbatten... Such a rapid catalogue must omit much of what he talks about, but may give some impression of the book's riches * The Times *
A deeply thoughtful, engrossing book about his fascinatingly varied life and unusual ideas... Refreshingly unconventional, inspiring, optimistic, wise and true * Sunday Express *
Overflows with ideas and insights gained during a long and eventful life * Independent *
No one can write more feelingly of Africa... An experience not to be missed * Evening Standard *
