Unsolved Mysteries – Valentine Dyall (First edition)

R390.00

– A collection of weird problems (from the past)

Wherever and whenever there are really challenging and inexplicable phenomenons, there seem to be those who find their existence uncomfortable and disconcerting, and will try and dispose of them by saying that they never really happened. It is only the legendary ostrich – not the ornithological one – who buries its head in the sand to avoid unwelcome stimuli, but what a gift to orators, preachers and moralisers the mythical bird is!

– With contributions and historical research by Larry Forrester and Peter Robinson –

Price: R390.00
