Dan Liebke's Astonishing Tales

Astonishing African Animals

Cost: $AU 49.95, available in all good book stores

This glorious coffee table book offers beautiful pictures and uncommon information about 22 of Africa’s most astonishing animals. From the lion (‘invariably three-dimensional’) to the wildebeest (‘invented by Oscar Wilde’) and a score of others, Astonishing African Animals takes you on a journey through Africa that is indisputably superior to visiting the continent itself.

With a foreword by Ian Thorpe.

Some of the pictures are almost as beautiful as me! – Charlize Theron, South African thespian

I hear the drums echoing tonight… – Toto
