When, at the age of 46, Denis Shirley suddenly finds himself out of a job, he decides to turn a minor problem into a major opportunity by realising the dream of a lifetime. He sets off, in an old Land Rover, to visit all the remote parts of Southern Africa to spend some quiet time with the continent's wild animals and to learn a little about their way of life. Just before departing on this odyssey, however, things take an interesting turn... A humorous and informative stroll through the fascinating - and often frightening - ways of the African wild. And a lament for its fast-disappearing wildlife.

IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO US (only to other people) A true story about one of those awful things that are supposed to happen only to other people - never to you. A life-changing motorcycle accident in Spain, a traumatic week in a hospital in Malaga. The long, painful and difficult process of coming to terms with an entirely different life - a life without a leg. This is also a story of love, of courage and hope, of determination and perseverance - a story of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity and the great kindness that one sometimes finds in complete strangers. And it proves - once again - that humour is nearly always to be found in something that is not at all funny.
