Twenty Chickens for a Saddle

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.
