David Bennun Knihy

Tick Bite Fever is the unconventional memoir of a very unconventional childhood. For Dave, Kenya was bemusingly new. On the way home from school, closed because a pair of lions are padding around the playground, Dave is mugged by baboons. And read about Dave and his Dad spending happy Sunday afternoons being chased by a herd of elephants.

The author of the critically acclaimed "Tick Bite Fever" - who came to Britain, the mother country at the age of 18 - shows England through the eyes of an alien. From DIY to architecture, sport to alcohol, transport to music and entertainment, he deconstructs all these subjects, many of them so dear to the British heart.
