Author Robyn Scott at the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, 4/17/08 April 17, 2008

Join author Robyn Scott for a fascinating discussion of her childhood in Botswana. Her new book, Twenty Chickens for a Saddle, recounts her adventures after her family moved to Botswana when she was seven. Her funny, moving memoir, told with clear-eyed unsentimental affection, is about an idyllic childhood and a family's enthusiasm for each other and the world around them, with the essence of Africa - both beautiful and challenging - infusing every page.

This event takes place at Thursday, April 17th at 12 noon (check in begins at 11:30 AM) at the Commonwealth Club's office (595 Market Street). Please see the Commonwealth Club's website for additional information and ticket purchase. (www.commonwealthclub.org)
