There's a Crocodile in the House: The Itinerant Ecologist Series - Paperback

by Malcolm K. Marks (Author)

Fresh from adventures in Nigeria, Malcolm and Véronique return to live in Europe but the slow pace of life sees them hanker for a return to Africa. This eventually occurs but not before moving from France to England.

Four years after departing Nigeria, while a teacher at a private school in the Midlands, Malcolm is offered a mission to the proud nation of Chad where he stays in the town of N'gouri in the Sahara Desert. Aside the suffocating heat, he encounters crab-sized scorpions and snakes in the wells, and witnesses the defeat of the Libyan army. A hilarious meeting in the desert is the catalyst for a move to Senegal with the engaging family starting a new life in the Land of Teranga.

'There's a Crocodile in the House' continues their adventures that include a close encounter with a puff adder, rabid dogs, dancing swordfish, friendly refugees, a mischievous minister and, not to forget, that Crocodile! During these four years, our Ecologist receives knocks and hard lessons about work and life as he continues his journey through 'The Itinerant Ecologist Series'.
