The Forest People
Colin Turnbull lived among the Pygmies as their friend for three years. He writes about their hunting parties, their nomadic camps, their quarrels and love affairs, their music and their ceremonies. His is a magnificent account of an earthly paradise and of a legendary and utterly delightful people. The reader is carried along by the charm and movement of the narrative, almost unaware of the underpinning of arduous scientific fieldwork that lies bedrock below. . . the reader feels delight in an entirely new world. ' Margaret Mead 'Colin Turnbull is one of the few anthropologists who not only write well but have the qualities of empathy and understanding which are as important for truth as the filled notebooks and the kinship charts. ' Naomi Mitchison
