GEOFREY JENKINS---A VERY SOUTH AFRICAN WRITER !
One of the writers who, probably more than most, introduced me to South African fiction,when I first arrived, was Geoffrey Jenkins.
Geoffey wrote about Southern Africa and he enthralled me with stories like 'A Twist of Sand ','A Grue of Ice' 'Scend of the Sea ', and so on.Very South African although his books were published in the UK there was nothing political about them.Just pure adventure !. Pure adventure which was very believable.
He was of course married to Eve Palmer, also a writer of note.
I have noted a new trend in book collection by people in South Africa and Geoffrey Jenkins has featured ,particularly, his signed copies. Certainly he was a very willing author signer at book launches here in South Africa. I have quite a good collection , both signed and unsigned. For your guidance I am listing some of his titles. I will be pleased to assist any collector in finding those elusive titles;-
A Twist of Sand
The Watering Place of Good Peace
A Cleft of Stars
A Grue of Ice
Scend of the Sea
Hunter Killer
The River of Diamonds
The Unripe Gold
A Bridge of Magpies
A Ravel of Waters
South Trap
All my books are in good condition and will have ther dust jackets.
