Description
Author: Philip Theron; Publisher: Manx; ISBN 9781920147457; 10 x new soft cover copies available.
The many adventures of Howard have been handed down from children to their parents for countless centuries. To this day these adventures are still told under the stars around the fire, soon after sunset on the eastern plains of Southern Africa when the raucous, piercing, prehistoric-like clarion of Hadedas can be heard as they glide to their favourite tree to roost for the night. Howard, driven by irresistible curiosity and a tenacious, nonnegotiable urge for adventure, breaks from the mould and sets out on a journey far from his home in the subtropics of Mkhuze in the heart of Zululand, to the mysterious hinterland of Ghost Mountain, trees, bones, ghosts, wild animals and things. His jaunts have been related to the author personally, and in great detail. Howard wrote this novel for children, in an oddly humorous and informative style; to read to your disbelieving parents. Most of Howards adventures to the Valley of Bones, and an outrageous ghost party, are true. Admittedly some are truer than others but which, is left for you, the reader, to decide. Both the young and the young at heart can be eternally thankful that these adventures didnt remain untold. Quirky, funny, curious and determined, Howard the Hadeda is an intriguing creation and a storyteller of note ; the perfect companion if you want to let your imagination take wing. So fly away, and go see whats beyond that horizon!A few pages in back of book give some factual informaiton about hadedas...Bookmark included.*Offers on lot of 5 will be considered.
