African Pride

Follow a heart-stopping race against time to catch the criminals killing for sport, a journey into the wild and into Canada's unforgiving northern territories where a killer stalks his prey, and a young tribesman coming face-to-face with one of the animal kingdom's most fierce hunters. Watch a banker with plans for his late parents' cottage as he discovers that the cottage has plans for him. Or a woman encountering an enchanted garden, where the custodians aren't altogether friendly, or willing to let her go. Then there's the widow who befriends the swallow, each year returning from its migration - but a hard winter is on the way. Embrace the wondrous mystery of the British landscape, from enormous sinkholes appearing overnight to a banished Neolithic man whose discovery of a strange material might just save his life. Discover what happens when time runs backwards, and how an isolated young man comes to learn that his secret power has a terrible consequence. Shifting between heart-warming, frightening, funny, unsettling, thought-provoking, these ten stories will stay with the reader long after the tale has ended.
