The Tokoloshe is a mischievous goblin in African mythology and David Lemon felt sure he had one with him when cycling alone from Nairobi to Cape Town. He was arrested twice, beaten up by armed soldiery, smashed his wheel in a fall and went down with amoebic dysentery. He also enjoyed incredible hospitality, spectacular scenery and a hugely varied diet. This included fried caterpillars and a mixture of blood and curdled milk that he didn't find easy to swallow. Lemon's irreverently laconic account of his incredible journey makes compulsive reading for armchair travellers or anyone interested in African adventure.
