To anglers and divers the world over, the term "mixed bag" usually indicates a good day's catch. Odds n sods, big and small, the drab and the colourful all put together for a feast of storytelling and some good grub at the bar or around a campfire. This appropriately entitled third offering from master storyteller Len Jones follows in the wake of his two previous and very popular books; Encounters with Sharks, Dolphins and Big Fish, and Hooks, Spears and Spanners. Mixed bag deviates slightly from Len's previous work in that it incorporates tales of his adventures and escapades as a fireman. So, hold on to your hat as we 18
once again plunge head first into the bracing waters of our southern oceans, where a mind boggling assortment of tales await the reader. Len weaves his magic into every short story. He does so by adding a bountiful supply of adrenaline pumping adventure, wit, humour, and a good dose of local history for any old school buffs out there. Are you interested in purchasing some or all of the Len Jones books given away during the past 3 months? We sell them at R150 each or R400 for the set of 3 books. Contact us at 0823261886 or email: whatson@telkomsa.net to place your order. Lead time is around one week.
