If I sound slightly disappointed, it's because I do love a good autobiography. For instance, [[Twenty Chickens for a Saddle by Robyn Scott]] is a cracking good read about growing up in Africa. Robyn has the same knack as this author of describing a strange environment so that the reader really feels at home in it.
