Twenty Chickens For A Saddle
Twenty Chickens For A Saddle: The Story of an African Childhood | Robyn Scott
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
When Robyn Scott was six years old her parents abruptly exchanged the tranquil pastures of New Zealand for a converted cowshed in the wilds of Botswana. Once there, Robyn and her siblings, mostly left to amuse themselves, grew up collecting snakes, canoeing with crocodiles and breaking in horses in the veld. In the shadow of one of Africa's worst AIDS crises, this moving, enchanting memoir is an extraordinary portrait of an unforgettable childhood.

"A funny, moving memoir that follows Scott's adventures growing up in Botswana in a loving but eccentric family." #Twenty #NovemberByTheNumbers

slategreyskies I wonder what part of Botswana... I‘d read it if it was set in Maun. The only books I‘ve read that have been set in Botswana have been set in Gaborone. (edited) 6y
