"The Miss Marple of Botswana." -- The New York Times Book Review "Smart and sassy...Precious' progress is charted in passages that have the power to amuse or shock or touch the heart, sometimes all at once." -- Los Angeles Times "The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision. His descriptions leave one as if standing in the Botswana landscape. This is art that conceals art. I haven't read anything with such alloyed pleasure for a long time." -- The Sunday Telegraph, "The Miss Marple of Botswana."

    A picturesque look at Africa.

    These books are written in a manner that gives the feel of Africa both now and in the past. Both the problems and blessings, without going into great detail on the problems. Very well written. I love them.

    A wonderful book with an excellent portrayal of the culture of Botswana.

    This is a delightful book and one that shows the positive culture of Botswana - much of which appears to continue to the present. The book arrived in excellent condition - better than I expected!
