| Although Ive owned this book for a number of years Ive never got around to reading it. Pretty damned stupid really as its nothing short of brilliant. No wonder David Rattray was so enamoured with Henry, an incredible man.

| Springy mate, is that the vary large book that you mean, or is it some other one? I have the very large one somewhere, it was however, moved by 'Mrs Shifter' some time back, I had not had it long and decided to take a peek through it. I had put it down to glance through it again later on, however, 'The Shifter' moved it when I went out for a beer or three, but no worries, I will don my Sherlock Holmes Deerstalker, get out my magnifier and Calabash and search for it (elementary my dear Watson). |

| I'd had the Child book for many year's as so was well acquainted with Charlie, as springbok say's he was quite the man..so when the Payne's announced the forthcoming book i was beside my- self to get my advanced order in, the book was a major work and so the usual teething troubles duly took place..but in the end the book dropped on the mat, fully signed by Adrian Greaves, David and Emma, and excitingly Audrey, Harford's grand- daughter! i read the book from cover to cover over the course of a couple of day's..excellent! worth every penny..however..i looked again at the signing and realised there was no ist ed plate with my ed num! there was no number at all, so i contacted the paynes..in fact i pestered Emma a lot and in the end received my number over the phone! i had to write it in myself..soi guess nobody got a limited edition number?. ..and as i speak its all irrelevant as this book has been discounted so many times! i feel a bit cheated. |

| Hi Martin Yep that's the one. Read it mate as 24th says its iconic. I couldn't put it down his diary entries of the tricks he used to play when he lived on the farm in Natal. The mans modesty and 'stiff upper lip', testimony to a bygone age. Yep, loved reading it. Les. Interesting comments, mine was also supposed to be numbered and Ive just noticed the missing number. Still doesn't detract from the book itself.
Cheers
