Long description
This is a contemporary classic childhood memoir that is packed with eccentric tales of family life and wild animals in a small Botswana village stories. When Robyn Scott was six years old her parents abruptly exchanged the tranquil pastures of New Zealand for a converted cowshed in the wild of Botswana, where their three small children grew up collecting snakes, canoeing with crocodiles and breaking in horses in the veld. Linda Scott haphazardly and single-handedly homeschooled Robyn, Damien and Lulu, while Keith ran a flying doctor practice and attempted, with erratic success, to adapt to the unique demands of rural clinics and the growing burden of AIDS.
