This book is something a bit special, it is the autobiography of Archie, meerkat-in-residence at the McLean Museum. Archie has told his life story to Jacky Folley and this fascinating tale has now been published.
Entitled ‘From the Kalahari to the Clyde‘, it tells the story of Archie’s adventures and fascinating career from his early days in South Africa until he arrived at the McLean Museum. A wonderful tale of meerkat courage, talent, genius and endurance, it sure to enthral readers of all ages.
How Archie got from the Kalahari Desert in South Africa to the banks of the Clyde River in Scotland is an epic tale. It is a tale best told in his own inimitable fashion. From a morning in 1898, when Archie finds himself abandoned in the desert, until he retires from Show Business to the more sedate job of tour guide and raconteur at the Museum, he swash buckles his way across the pages of his biography.

June 11, 2011 | Edited by Michelle Lotter | It is the first book that Jacky has published and we are so proud to have one of the first copies here in South Africa. I’ve been privileged enough to proofread this book before it got published. Once you’ve read the book, you realise that this is movie-material. It is an absolute must-read (not because I know Jacky, but because it is really a truly excellent read). It was difficult to proofread the book because I got carried away with the story and every time I had to remind myself that I was supposed to work and not just enjoy it. What surprised me most was the ending, something you would never have suspected… |
