'In the pages of this delightfully illustrated book, Marjorie Michael reveals what it is like to share the life of a man who packs more excitement into an average week's work than most people experience in a lifetime. She tells how it feels to watch her husband standing in the path of stampeding elephants to get a dramatic film shot, to be with her two young daughters in a frail canoe menaced by an angry bull hippo, or to run a home where the family pet may be anything from a baby elephant to an eagle.
Fascinating details about their domestic life in the bush are interwoven with vivid accounts of strange experiences ranging from a visit to a native wedding to an encounter with a rascally diamond smuggler. The whole book abounds with little-known fragments of jungle lore, strange facts about the complex and savage pattern of Nature's life cycle and about the life, philosophy and superstitions of natives living beyond the fringe of civilisation.'
