About the author:
Janet Keegans was born in the UK, but raised in Africa - first Uganda, then Zimbabwe.
As one of five adventurous siblings, her playground was the African bush, literally at the
end of the garden. Her writing ability was developed during a career in advertising, but
the magic of Africa’s wildlife, folk- and bushlore remains close to her heart.
