"Kalahari-what a beautiful word. It rolls off the tongue with satisfying ease, seeming to apply distance. A great wilderness of waving grasses, humming with grasshopper song under a hot wind and a sky of vibrant blue." -Rupert Isaacson, The Healing Land But at my back I always hear Time's wing???d chariot hurrying near; And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity.-Andrew Marvell (1621-78) Oh that the desert were my dwelling place, With only one fair spirit for my minister. That I might forget the human race, And hating no one, love her only.-Lord Byron For hundreds of years the vast territory of the Kalahari remained a blank on the map. Yet it gripped the imagination of poets, painters, writers, dreamers, adventurers and not a few charlatans. This book is a whimsical anthology of those who were inspired by this desert, those who lived in its bitter confines and those who died in its dry embrace.

Seller's Description:
Fine. The book has been inscribed by the author to Patricia Glyn, a South African writer. The wraps show the slightest signs of edge wear, but are otherwise bright and whole. Internally, there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are crisp, clean and complete. Tightly bound and in lovely condition indeed. JK.
