About the author

Harvey Tyson is a would-be retired writer who, after travelling round the world several times, finds Hermanus on the edge of Africa the best place on Earth. However he suffers from ‘writing itch’ which makes fishing, whale-counting and shark-diving impossible. This is fortunate, but it also handicaps his hiking, biking, birding and golf. Worse, he is obsessed with a campaign to convince 50 and 15-year-olds that reading is the richest, and most rewarding hobby any woman, child and man can have. Time is short and life is tough in Hermanus.
