A Diamond Digger`s Anecdotes And Stories -- Bert Gerryts

Condition : Very Good.

First Edition, Reach Publishers,  2015, Medium-format Paperback - Biographical - 228pp.

This book has a non-fiction and fiction element to it. The non-fiction part of the book deals, amongst other episodes, with prospecting for diamonds on the Namibian Skeleton Coast; living on the Mwadui diamond mine in Tanganyika, while working for the owner, the famous Doctor Williamson; travelling through the desert in the Sudan and Egypt to Europe in an ordinary passenger car and visiting Japan in the winter to check on a claimed diamond production.

The fiction part of the book deals with a variety of short stories, which include: an earth without sun, caused by a sausage, successful diamond theft, an amazing discovery under the microscope and a visit to another planet.

I found your stories enjoyable and original. They were nicely written and entertaining, and I found your book hard to put down! It was super interesting and I read for far longer each day than I usually do, just because I wanted to know what happened next. I loved the twists some stories had as well as others with an excellent moral. Thoroughly enjoyable and wish all edits were like this! Editors comment.
