Kuki Gallmann evokes, through a tapestry of interwoven true episodes, the magic that touches all African life. The adventure of a moonlit picnic on a vanishing island; her son's entrancement with chameleons and the mystical visit of a king cobra to his grave; the mysterious compassion of an elephant herd - in each event, Kuki Gallmann conveys her delight and wonder at the whole fabric of creation.
