Twenty Chickens For A Saddle: The Story of an African Childhood de Robyn Scott

Twenty Chickens For A Saddle: The Story of an African Childhood

Autor Robyn Scott
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2009
When Robyn Scott was six years old her parents abruptly exchanged the tranquil pastures of New Zealand for a converted cowshed in the wilds of Botswana. Once there, Robyn and her siblings, mostly left to amuse themselves, grew up collecting snakes, canoeing with crocodiles and breaking in horses in the veld. In the shadow of one of Africa's worst AIDS crises, this moving, enchanting memoir is an extraordinary portrait of an unforgettable childhood.

Notă biografică

Born in 1981, Robyn Scott spent her childhood in Botswana before beginning her formal education at the age of fourteen in Zimbabwe.

In 2004, she was awarded a Gates Scholarship to Cambridge University, where she took an MPhil in bioscience enterprise and studied the pricing of medicines in developing countries. Robyn lives in london, but visits and works regularly in southern Africa.

Recenzii

'The nearest thing you will get to Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals in Africa and it is just as enchanting'
'Beautifully written and lovingly told, Scott's book has the makings to be Out of Africa meets Running with Scissors'
'A fabulous read, rollicking, good-humoured and intensely sane'
'Scott does more than simply record her African adventures. She tackles the difficult issue of race, revealing a shift in white attitudes across the generations [and] remind[s] us that southern Africa has many different histories'

Descriere

'Beautifully written, acutely observed ... This is a wonderful memoir of an exotic childhood and a striking portrait of one of the world's most beguiling countries. A gem of a book.' ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH
