CRY OF THE KALAHARI
Bibliophile price £10.00
Published price £20
Co-written by the author of 'Where the Crawdads Sing', this bestselling and award-winning memoir charts the Owens' time researching wildlife in the Kalahari Desert. Carrying little more than a change of clothes and a pair of binoculars, the two young Americans caught a plane to Africa, bought a third-hand Land Rover, and lived in the Kalahari Desert for seven years in an unexplored area with no roads, no people, and no source of water for thousands of miles. In this vast wilderness the couple began their zoology research, working alongside animals that had never previously been exposed to humans. Here is their life with lions, brown hyenas, jackals, giraffes. 'Studies in the Serengeti of East Africa have shown that lionesses are notoriously poor mothers.' 'One of the cubs tottered up to Muffin and stuck its tiny face up to his giant whiskered muzzle.' Beautifully written, we get up close and personal inside a world we are privileged to visit from the comfort of our armchairs, and without the dry heat and danger this remarkable couple encountered. 464pp in a beautiful new edition containing never-before-seen colour photographs.
