` Having sifted through everything I have heard about the tiger & his wife, I can tell you that this much is fact: in April of 1941, without declaration or warning, the German bombs started falling over the city & did not stop for three days. The tiger did not know that they were bombs...` A tiger escapes from the local zoo, padding through the ruined streets & onwards, to a ridge above the Balkan village of Galina. His nocturnal visits hold the villagers in a terrified thrall. But for one boy, the tiger is a thing of magic
- Shere Khan awoken from the pages of The Jungle Book. Natalia is the granddaughter of that boy. Now a doctor, she is visiting orphanages after another war has devastated the Balkans. On this journey, she receives word of her beloved grandfather`s death, far from their home, in circumstances shrouded in mystery. From fragments of stories her grandfather told her as a child, Natalia realises he may have died searching for `the deathless man`, a vagabond who was said to be immortal. Struggling to understand why a man of science would undertake such a quest, she stumbles upon a clue that will lead her to a tattered copy of The Jungle Book, & then to the extraordinary story of the tiger`s wife.

The Sahara: a dream-like, far away landscape of Lawrence of Arabia & Wilfred Thesiger, The English Patient & Star Wars, & home to nomadic communities whose ways of life stretch back millennia. Today it`s a teeth-janglingly dangerous destination, where the threat of jihadists lurks just over the horizon. Following in the footsteps of 16th century traveller Leo Africanus, Nicholas Jubber went on a turbulent adventure to the forgotten places of North Africa & the legendary Timbuktu. Once the seat of African civilization & home to the richest man who ever lived, this mythic city is now scarred by terrorist occupation & is so remote its own inhabitants hail you with the greeting, ` Welcome to the middle of nowhere`. From the cattle markets of the Atlas, across the Western Sahara & up the Niger river, Nicholas joins the camps of the Tuareg, Fulani, Berbers, & other communities, to learn about their craft, their values & their place in the world. The Timbuktu School for Nomads is a unique look at a resilient city & how the nomads pit ancient ways of life against the challenges of the 21st century. ...
