A truly superb record of some of southern Africa’s 460 stone palaces, from the majestic Great Zimbabwe Ruins to the smaller unknown hilltop enclosures, this fascinating book explores the myths and cultures of what was once a vibrant civilization.
Mapungubwe, in South Africa; Sofala, Mozambique; Khami and Daangombe, Zimbabwe; Leopard’s Kopje in Botswana, all tell a tale of trade, customs and the way of life of a class-and-wealth-conscious society. If there had been more understanding of the African beliefs of the past centuries, would history have taken a different route?
With excellent colour photographs of the sites and artefacts found there, the maps and diagrams of the main sites, reproduced photographs of explorers and history in the making, this is an entertaining and informative book.

"In The Derelict House, Lesley Cripps Thomson vividly conveys the fun and the frustrations of living and working in the African bush.
Enlivened by the many characters who pepper the pages, her book also paints a colourful picture of the wildlife scene.
For those who aspire to sample wild Africa for the first time, and for those who have already fallen under its spell, this is an excellent read!"
