Rare Book
The doctor's account of his experiences in Italy's former African colonies: 'Children, animals and magic are the main themes' (blurb). A Glossary at the rear largely provides native terms of the region, but also includes a definition for British readers of 'Pizza (It.): Southern Italian dish: a sort of cake seasoned with cheese, tomatoes, onions, chillis, olives and anchovies'.Interest in this book, which followed 'A Cure for Serpents', has grown in recent years due to it having been a favourite of David Bowie.
