David Biggs, Karoo Ramblings: Short Stories & Tall Tales ... Illustrations by Tony Grogan. Cape Town: Struik, 2004.

Very good to near-fine condition.

David Biggs was born in the Karoo and grew up on a sheep farm, where he developed a love for the area and all its creatures, human and animal. For many years he has worked as a journalist in the city, writing a daily column for the Cape Argus newspaper and regular stories in magazines.

But the call of the great Karoo has remained as strong as ever and often finds him wending his way along the N1 highway to his home. Whenever he can he returns to the family farm Grapevale to allow the dust and smoke of the city to blow away and enjoy the wide spaces, the gentle humour and sound sense of it all. How could anybody resist a place where meerkats watch soap operas on TV and sheepdogs ride on motorcycles?

In this little book he takes us on a whimsical journey through this fascinating country, stopping along the way to discover a little history, meet some very unusual people and share a few strange stories that may even be true.
