Readers International. Good. 1986. Softcover. 0930523202 . Reprint, 280 pages. Light edgewear, creasing to cover, small peeled area top corner. Interior has a small amount of pencil underlining and booksellers stamp on first page, a little age tanning to page edges. From Library Journal: The five stories in this fine first collection are set in the black South African township of Charterston, where the author himself grew up. Without sentimentality or redundant stridency, they depict the black struggle for survival and human dignity under the evils of apartheid. Ndebele's acute ear for dialogue and his eye for telling visual detail enable him to evoke township life with remarkable immediacy for the non-South African reader. He also has a special talent for portraying the complex relationships between children and adults. The novella-length title story "Fools" is the prize of the collection, but the four shorter pieces are also of high quality. Recommended for African and…

This is not a historical book, neither is it the legends as set in stone. Instead it is a delightful tale of a young woman of magical qualities coming of age in a time not truly meant for her. The tale is loving, kind, silly, harsh, and deeply magical. A truly enjoyable work. " (400-noto) .

Until then no navy had attempted to destroy a fleet with aircraft and it was believed in this case that an attack could only be successful if it were conducted within range of guns. Nevertheless there were some "fanatics"-as they were dubbed-who predicted an effective strike could be made by the flimsy slow-flying aeroplanes of the Fleet Air Arm. The "fanatics" proved to be right. They took off form the carrier Illustrious and flew 170 miles into air-naval history and fought a battle that was to become known as "the Trafalgar of the Air". They crippled the Italian fleet and altered the…

Drawing strength and solace from each other, they begin to make sense of who they are in the world and the shared tragedy that so deeply affects them.
