The Leonard Lopate Show

Growing Up in Botswana

When Robyn Scott was 7, her peripatetic parents moved the family to a game farm in Botswana, close to the border of South Africa. She writes about her unusual childhood and her first-hand exposure to the apartheid mindset in a new book, Twenty Chickens for a Saddle: The Story of an African Childhood.

Event: Robyn Scott will be speaking and signing books
