The Influence of Queens with Mischief in Between: A South African Tale

By Ian Alexander Giles

Book Overview

A fun and mischievous adventure story centered on the life of an 11 year old named Bruce Carlyle. Bruce lives and attends school in a South African town named Pietermaritzburg, about one hours drive from the beach at Durban. Within easy reach of numerous game reserves, Bruce lives a charmed life, rich in outdoor adventure.

His love of sailboat racing gets him into situations that prove interesting, and his ability to distinguish between mischief and evil is what gives him an advantage in dealing with adversity.

The book is intended to share some of the wonder of nature, ocean waves, sailboat racing, and wild animals, and to inspire young readers to seek adventure and good natured fun.

It is hoped that by sharing these stories, a love and respect for nature will be encouraged, and provide a stark contrast to books on hunting. By making these adventures accessible to all, it is hoped that young minds will think more in terms of nature preservation, than destruction.
