Jordan's true story will make you nostalgic for an Africa that once was and will never be again.
A story of a larger than life hunter and poacher told by one of South Africa’s most popular travel and adventure writers.This is the story of legendary hunter/poacher S.C. 'Bvekenya' Barnard who lived in the Limpopo River region. It tells of his hunting expeditions that revolved around Crook's Corner, where he could take refuge from the country's police. An outlaw for twenty years, Bvekenya was one of the most colorful personalities in Africa, who fought a one-man war against all control and authority. The life of Bvekenya and his exploits as an ivory poacher, blackbirder, outdoorsman and perhaps surprisingly for some, a conservationist, was told to Bulpin by Barnard himself.

To whom it may concern, and you should all be concerned. I told Ivory not to publish this book. But Ivory never listens to me. For being an elf with such big ears, her hearing is very bad. So, now here we both are. You wanting to read this VERY DARK tale. And me trying to warn you of the dangers that could happen if you do. You, probably being an ordinary person and all. No disrespect to ordinary people. I like them...or you. But, generally, ordinary people are toxically attracted to things that are not so healthy for them, like candy, and old broken-down buildings full of nose hair twisters, and throat gobblers---forgetting that they should be very afraid of dark, spooky, creepyish sort of places, until it's too late. Be WARNED that this book, once cracked opened, will cause the innocent lights in your bedroom to quake and shiver, and perhaps go out, leaving you in the darkness. So keep a flashlight, or a glowing, friendly, non-poisonous mushroom nearby, just in case. Only brave individuals should dare to read this book. As for myself, I'm brave. I'm not afraid of the dark. Except for when it's dark, of course. Ahem. ENTER AT YOUR own RISK! Your humble servant, Gogingy, Twisker of the Dandelion Den
