Kuki Gallmann, whose bestseller "I Dreamed of Africa" captured the beauty and drama of the Kenyan Highlands, here evokes through a tapestry of interwoven episodes the magic that touches all African life. Whether the adventure of a moonlit picnic on a vanishing island, or the pleasure of building a unique bed; her son's enchantment with chameleons, or the mystical visit of a king cobra to his grave; a brief communion with a Maasai woman, the mysterious companionship of an elephant herd, or the the wild peace of night lost in the Highlands - in each event Kuki Gallmann conveys her delight and wonder at the whole fabric of creation. She recounts fleeting encounters and enduring friendships; meetings with animals; the vivid beauty of coast and ocean, the magnificence of the mountains and the teeming life of forest and savannah; disasters miraculously averted, and deaths imbued with resurrection. Where "I Dreamed of Africa" echoed the harmony between mankind and the environment, these stories also reveal the third element of that indivisible trinity: the African soul.
