About This Item
(Johannesburg: Rowland Ward, 2005) 0958459053. 4to; original charcoal rexine boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper maps; pp. xii + 268; numerous photographs in text. Fine condition. "Paul Grobler is a man of many parts - successful tobacco and stock farmer, doyen of ivory hunters, business entrepreneur and safari operator, skilled pilot and fine golfer, linguist and philanthropist. Paul's reputation was built on his early prowess as an elephant hunter ... A lifetime of adventurous exploits in the African wilds is, by definition, loaded with potential dangers but Paul's powers of survival varied from the uncanny to the bizarre as those who know him well will testify. His remarkable physical fitness and sharp intellect today, aged in his eighties, bear witness to this amazing endurance. Did indeed the mystique of Africa, the stuff of fate and fable, envelop and protect this man when the old witch cast her spell over 'Kambada'? Who knows?" .
