Wildlife Classics Namib -
Strange Creatures of the Skeleton Coast
By day, lizards dance, spiders turn cartwheels and beetles stand on their heads to drink. At night, to a chorus of barking geckos, legless lizards and golden moles go hunting.
Few men venture into the harsh, yet hauntingly beautiful landscape of the Namib desert. It is one of the bleakest spots on earth, where drifting dunes and gravel plains stretch along the notorious Skeleton Coast. Yet the shifting'sands are home to one of the world's strangest communities of animals.

Kenneth Tynan (1927-80)
KENNETH PEACOCK TYNAN , who died two years ago, was stage-struck all his life and loved to shock. He was the illegitimate son of a six-times mayor of Warrington, and in the immediate post-war years at Oxford, he was a huge celebrity - a pleasure-seeking dandy, actor, director and the biggest attraction in Union debates. His ten years at The Observer established him as the wittiest and most influential drama critic in post-war Britain. He continued to exert his influence at the National Theatre when Sir Laurence Olivier invited him to join as Literary Manager.
Perhaps best known for devising the nude erotic revue Oh! Calcutta!, he had always fought against censorship and was at the centre of the controversy over Hochhuth's Soldiers which he produced.
Anthony Howard presents this re-assessment. Among the contributors are Tynan's two wives
Elaine Dundy and Kathleen Tynan Sir Ralph Richardson
John Osborne , Tom Stoppard Jonathan Miller
Sir Harold Hobson , Gore Vidal Jules Feiffer , Paul Johnson and Tony Richardson Readings by BENJAMIN WHITROW
