" When The Lion Feeds is the first of Wilbur Smith's Courtneys of Africa series. I enjoyed his Egyptian series (River God, The Seventh Scroll, etc), so thought I'd tackle this one. Set in 19th century South Africa, it's interesting to ready a bit of the history of that part of the world - I would probably have got a little more out of it if I'd had a map beside me. It's fairly easy reading and a fun story. It did grip me as much as the Egypt series, but I'll start the next in the series at some stage. "
