Chasing Hornbills
£8.99
The sequel to Squirting Milk at Chameleons
Chasing Hornbills charts accidental African Simon Fenton’s further adventures of building a life in Senegal.
Now a father of two and juggling multiple businesses, he continues to face the everyday frustrations and exhilarations that made Squirting Milk at Chameleons such a compelling and entertaining read.
After seeing, but failing to chase, a huge hornbill, the locals warn Simon that he has missed the opportunity to earn good luck.
With tropical illness, near-death experiences, voodoo madness and more making him seriously question his own sanity, Simon must now make a decision – will he settle permanently in his adopted home, or give up and return to his old familiar life?
‘The closest thing I have read to an outsider understanding our culture’ Kemo Conteh
"Fenton’s love of Senegal, its people, and West Africa shines through in every paragraph, despite his regular frustrations with officials and family. An absolute winner and a gem’ Grant Leishman
