Tick Bite Fever - Softcover
In this warm and very funny memoir about growing up in Kenya, where the author’s family transplanted themselves in the 1970s, there are tales of lions in the school playground; being chased by a herd of elephants; and being mugged by baboons.

About the Author:
Born in Swindon in 1968, Dave Bennun's family moved to Zambia in 1971 where he fell ill and was soon diagnosed with meningitis. He survived and in 1973 the family moved to Kenya where they lived for the next 16 years. When he was 18, Dave returned to the UK to take a place at the University of Sussex. After graduation Dave landed a job at Melody Maker and then moved to become Features Editor at Loaded. He is now freelance, lives in Brighton and writes for The Guardian, Observer, Mail on Sunday, Sunday Telegraph and GQ. He is also Jeremy Clarkson's co-writer for his chat show, Clarkson. They wanted to call the show Paxman, but the producer overruled them.
Review:
"A hilarious memoir...Enchanting and amazing" * The Daily Mail * "A delight" * The Guardian * "Laugh out loud is an understatement...a wonderful insight into life in Africa from a two-foot high point of view, witty, touching and above all affectionate" * The Press Assocation * "Tick Bite Fever itches with mordant wit - there's at least one turn of phrase per paragraph that gets among your ribs like a feather duster. An excellent memoir" * Uncut Magazine * "Exotic hats off to David Bennun, who has written a book full of warmth and self-deprecating humour" * Word Magazine *
