A Walk with a White Bushman

"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
