| | | An exquisitely rendered portrait of Africa, and of childhood, written by an astonishing new talent, "Twenty Chickens for a Saddle" is a funny, moving memoir that follows Scott's adventures growing up in Botswana in a loving but eccentric family.
Annotation:
Robyn Scott was seven years old when her free-spirited parents moved the family to Botswana. Her eccentric early childhood and unorthodox home-school education--which often involved unsupervised adventures into the jungle--is full of delights, but after she moved to South Africa and began attending public schools, Scott became more aware of the disturbing elements in Africa: racism, AIDS, and poverty.
