New,
First Edition If you saw only the head of a Quagga, it would be immediately
recognisable as a zebra. It was an animal of Southern Africa and was shot to extinction
towards the end of the nineteenth century. This book recounts the explorations
into what has been left behind in our culture by the extinct Quagga. The
book also tells the story of a journey to Cape Town to see some particular animals
and to see a man who has brought about some remarkable twists in the more recent
history of Quaggas and who has not yet finished his work |
