Tick Bite Fever is the unconventional memoir of a very unconventional childhood. In the early Seventies Dave Bennun's family transplanted themselves from Swindon to the wilds of Kenya. His father who was a doctor had lived in Africa before (but had felt it expedient to leave when the South African government realised he was carting explosives around in the boot of his car for the ANC). For Dave Kenya was bemusingly new. It would be his home for the next 16 years. In Kenya the childhood memoir takes on a rather surreal tone! On the way home from school closed because a pair of lions are padding around the playground Dave is mugged by baboons. Meet Dave's favourite pet Achilles the almost indestructible dog! Find out about 'Nairobi snow' - and the national radio station that only has three records. And read about Dave and his Dad spending happy Sunday afternoons being chased by a herd of elephants. Enchantingly funny Tick Bite Fever is a tale of the fading innocence of childhood miles ahead of the competition.
