In Old Serpent Nile, award-winning travel writer Stanley Stewart follows
the African river from delta to source and tells its story through the eyes of
those living along its banks from Egypt to Sudan. This genre is not for everyone
and Stewart’s more personal observations may annoy some. But overall, this is a
highly informative and colourful account of a truly splendid journey. Published
by Flamingo/HarperCollins, £6.99, ISBN 0006550282.
