David Bristow is the author of some 30 books to date. His most recent venture is a series of four non-fiction paperbacks titled ‘Stories from the Veld’.
They include:
- 20 curious characters – The Game Ranger, the Knife, the Lion and the Sheep,
- 20 amazing places – Of Hominins, Heroes and Hunter-Gatherers,
- 20 environmental stories – Big Pharma, Dirty Lies, Busy Bees and Eco-Activists, and
- 20 bush tales – The Lion, the Dung Beetle and the Veld Toolbox.
Having produced more books than The Beatles recorded albums, he felt he was qualified to release his own “best of” collection. In order to do so, with long-time friend and fellow author Monty Roodt, he formed Southern Right Publishers.
Some of the stories you can read are about the giant Trekboer and desperado Coenraad de Buys, lions and men who look – and act – like them, and a Khoi leader who took on an empire. The places are not your typical beauty spots but those with deeper backstories such as Mapungubwe, Die Hel, and the Heerenlogement ¬– a gentleman’s lodging in a time long past. There are rhinos, rhino poachers and rhino guardians, adventures in the Okavango Delta and perhaps the greatest survival story seldom ever told.
