Africa is my home. I was born and raised in South Africa and have travelled widely across the African continent. The people, places, cultures and animals of Africa remain fascinating and it was only natural that my first book of fiction should be an African Fable.I live with my husband in the area around Johannesburg, close to our children and grandchildren. Of all the travels we have done, a tent in the African bush remains our favourite.

Jackal! roared Lion. Speak up and say your say!

Jackal flattened his ears, but one look at Lion brought him out of his hiding place behind the termite mound. The Big Meeting that Lion had called had started, and Jackal stood trembling as he faced the gathering.

The Animals have come from all over for the Big Meeting. They’ve scurried from the bushes and sprinted from across the savannahs. They’ve emerged from the rivers and descended from the sky. Now, deep in the heart of Africa, they stood in the circle that was made by the big rock. The rock that fell from the skies during the time of their ancestors!

Monkey was sitting at a careful distance from Snake. For once he was not chattering away as usual. He sat silently, watching Snake with distrust. He absently rubbed his bottom where it was still sore. It hurt from when he fell from the tree the previous day, when he found Snake lying in wait for him on his favorite branch up in the big tree.
