Wilbur Smith has lived an incredible life of adventure, and now he shares the extraordinary true stories that have inspired his fiction.

From being attacked by lions to close encounters with deadly reef sharks, from getting lost in the African bush without water to crawling the precarious tunnels of gold mines, from marlin fishing with Lee Marvin to near death from crash-landing a Cessna airplane, from brutal school days to redemption through writing and falling in love, Wilbur Smith tells us the intimate stories of his life that have been the raw material for his fiction. Always candid, sometimes hilarious, and never less than thrillingly entertaining, On Leopard Rock is testament to a writer whose life is as rich and eventful as his novels are compellingly unputdownable.

This was an excellent autobiography of Wilbur Smith, marvelously narrated by Saul Reichlin.

I have never read or listened to a Wilbur Smith book, however I enjoyed hearing out about this man who had sold millions of books which I still have no intention of reading or listening to,

I loved Mr Smiths passion for Africa it’s in his bones and he describes its vitality vividly. Africa had a special place in my heart too.

Mr Smith, does have a bit of s rant every now and again, he is quite self obsessed about his books and beliefs…..but hey it’s his autobiography so he can indulge himself and I can deal with that.

Enjoy.
