Peter Beard’s legendary book on the lives of crocodiles and the tribesmen of Kenya–a people whose culture is directly dependent upon the crocodile–is once again in print. Alistair Graham’s fascinating narrative and Beard’s photographs and collection of engravings capture the profound effect the crocodiles of the Nile have on the myths, symbols, and day-to-day lives of the people of East Africa.
