He writes with relish for the experience he is recalling and for the language in which he sets it down. His prose is clean and uncluttered, his sense of history acute.’ The Sunday Times_x000D_ _x000D_ ‘The author has that priceless gift of imparting his own enthusiasm without over-emphasis… it is a pleasure to be in his company.’ The Sunday Telegraph_x000D_ _x000D_ ‘Brian Jackman not only writes well, but has that rare gift of communicating his own sensual perceptions.’ Birds Magazine_x000D_ _x000D_ ‘Few writers are able to evoke a sense of place as effectively as Brian Jackman.’_x000D_ In Britain Magazine_x000D_ _x000D_ 'An ability to convey the beauty and magic of the place and its wildlife'_x000D_ Bridport News_x000D_ _x000D_ 'Brian's book is a delight for all those who have been bitten by lions or would like to be. It is full of the great spaces of Africa that, as he says, are much bigger when you're foot.'_x000D_ Simon Barnes, The Times_x000D_ _x000D_ 'It is hugely evocative of the African bush and its animals'_x000D_ Good Book Guide_x000D_ _x000D_ 'This is a collection of inspiring, passionate and often rather depressing insights from the real deal.'_x000D_ Wanderlust Magazine_x000D_ _x000D_ ''A picture may be worth a thousand words - but it depends whose words they are.
