Enya & James – In The Land Of Magic

Children Stories... an African adventure story told through the eyes of 2 normal children for other children but with a message for adults as well. Regardless of your age you will find this fascinating book entertaining, colourful and interactive in ways seldom seen in books before.

This childrens story can be described as an e-mail book, colouring book, adventure book, magical book, nature discovery book and African adventure story book all rolled into one.

Each page has places for the reader to interact through pictures or messages, drawings, colourings or the opportunity to send e-mails to the young adventurers. Explanations for the wildlife and flora encountered in this African adventure story are highlighted with links to the website where Enya and James, with help from their parents explain the terminology in easy to understand language.

Carefully crafted, the book brings in the responsibilities and importance of the role of the child in the house and the world in general, and the sharing of responsibilities, feeding of pets and animals etc. Discussion is encouraged on whether it is better to speak up when you experience something being done "wrong" or whether you should just ignore it.

This is a true thinking book whose message stays with you long after you have put it down. Clever and subtle humor is apparent particularly in an apt comment made about a certain computer program in the middle of the book.

Industrialisation threatens the existence of the last wild herd of desert horses and it is up to the children to find a solution. With help from some magical characters, animals, creatures of all shapes and sizes. This is the world as seen through these kids eyes and experiences, unfettered by the blinkers of money and commercialisation.

Driven by their love of nature and all things animal and flora, Enya and James set-out on their trip of discovery and adventure from their home high on the mountains above Gordon's Bay overlooking False Bay in South Africa and journey through the Cape Floral Kingdom, Kwa-zulu Natal, the Richtervlei and the Namib.

Share their unique story telling style as you experience life with the San Bushman and survival tricks that are used daily when hunting, the horseman of the sea and the gatekeeper of the mangrove crabs, toktokkies, shongololo's and dozens of other creatures big and small.

This beautiful childrens story book will have a treasured place on your bookshelf for decades to come.

Enya & James - in the Land of Magic is dedicated to all the children in the world because every child has the right to discover and enjoy the magic of nature.
