Description

David Mungo Booi is a descendant of the Bushmen who once lived in the distant African Karoo.

Chosen by a conclave of elders, travelling on funds raised by public subscription, sponsored by the Society for Promoting the Discovery of the Interior Parts of England, Booi embarks on a mission never before attempted by a civilized man: to explore England as a site suitable for settlement and to assess if the natives are friendly and capable... He sets out to answer ancient questions about this strange island race: why do they believe there will always be an England?

Did they build Jerusalem in their green and pleasant land?

David Booi's epic journey takes him from prison to Parliament, from asylum to Palace.

Battling each step of the way against treachery, cruelty, superstition and disease, his English notebooks tell of an exploration as heroic as any African safari and a good deal darker.
