Now in The Mottled Lizard she carries on the story when the family return to Kenya after the First World War.

The relationships of the girl with her forceful mother her gentle ineffective father and the young man Alan who is her hero are delicately handled. Nature 'provides unforgettable backgrounds and episodes - a big waterbuck by the pool at dawn an elephant family playing in the river the splendour of the African sunset the escapades of Rupert the de lightful pet but not tame cheetah. At the end when the girl leaves Kenya to return to Europe the reader shares her regret for the loss of this wild exciting country that has vanished now for ever and whose magic is preserved in pages written with insight wit and love. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 335 pages ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
