Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Taylor, Jacqui (illustratore). 1st Edition. A tight, clean and unmarked copy with only minor shelf wear.- " Inspired by the magical transformation of Namaqualand each spring from near desert to fairyland flower carpets, Mary Clanahan has created a tale of natural wonder for children. Chief Nama Kwa thinks that the Great Spirit must have been angry when he created the land, to leave it with such a dry scar, so Nama Kwas people want to surprise him with a wonderful gift on his birthday; they set about creating a garden for him. The characters are sourced from what is known about the Khoekhoen, herders who lived in the area 2000 years ago. It is thought that the Khoisan of southern Africa are descended from the Khiekhoen." About the Author: Mary Clanahan has spent much of her adult life living in various countries in southern Africa, particularly the rural areas. Living so close to nature has nurtured a life-long fascination with and love for Africa. Although a microbiologist by training, she changed career direction to banking and teaching swimming to the disabled, especially children. Her storytelling began with her own daughters who persuaded her to write them down for her grandchildren, now scattered around the world, to ensure that they too learn about Africa.
