Weird and wonderful stories about people, places, animals and the supernatural have always fascinated young and old alike. Disasters happen. Accidents occur. Motorcars collide, aeroplanes fall out of the sky, ships sink and nations decline and fall. In the end, all we are left with to mark their passing are the wrecks and ruins they leave behind. Disasters aside, South Africa has also had its fair share of extraordinary people: remote tribes, heroes, ancient forefathers, prophets and modern leaders. The chapters on crimes and schemes, the supernatural and amazing animals also make for fascinating reading, and cast a fascinating new light on some traditional stories and legends.
