Follows on from his ‘Lost World of the Kalahari' in that the first third of this book is the return voyage from the Kalahari to the south. A chance meeting with a small group of bushmen generates a number of stories. The other two thirds of the book tells the bushmen stories of creation and early mythology. There is also a bit of LVDP philosophy and some urging for the saving of the bushmen from being overtaken by civilisation.
There is obviously come controversy about how authentic LVDP's writing is, and an accusation of plagiarism, but regardless of whether that stacks up, you can't fault the guys passion and compassion for these people who were clearly heading to a terrible end at the hands of modern civilisation.
