'Brian Jackman writes with a lyrical immediacy of the lions, the wider wildlife and landscapes transformed by the changing seasons ... This descriptive tour de force is required reading for Africa hands both young and old.' BBC Wildlife 'Absolutely stunning...It reeks of Africa. It smells of Africa. The whole thing is just living Africa. It's a lovely book for the armchair naturalist.' Living World, BBC Radio Four 'I've been reading what is probably the great lion book...This is a book about the real wild lives of lions... Now it's been published again emerging in a fine new dress as a classic.' Simon Barnes -The Times 'This brand new edition brings the tale right up to date' The Traveller msafiri ... The pages contain so much magic that you will lose yourself. Read it slowly, indulge yourself in the pictures, it is a palpable piece of work keeping all of your senses gainfully employed: smell the approaching storm after months of drought, hear the deep groan of the lion, taste the wild basil and feel the thundering hooves of the returning herds. A picture is worth a thousand words; in Brian's case I beg to differ. Buy this book. Now. Paul Goldstein www.wildlifeextra.com 'This updated version reads like a novel, but traces the real-life movements of Masa Mari's lions, gazelles, hyenas, cheetahs and leopards.' Food & Travel '...this beautifully written history of the different generations of this pride over thirty years is both astounding and remarkable.' Good Book Guide
