Mungai, a jungle creature of indeterminate origin, happily ambles through life dreaming up scandalous get-rich-quick schemes. On his travels he meets Goa, an equally ruthless and selfish Boa Constrictor. Having explained to her "the usefulness of the lesser species", and his latest highly profitable master plan, Mungai tempts Goa into joining him in his search for as many unsuspecting creatures as they can muster.Very soon they meet and befriend some innocent animals of the woodland, including Bodger, an amiable and easily led badger. With much flattery and tale spinning, Mungai manages to coax Bodger and his friends into joining forces with him and Goa in his latest ill-founded chicanery. So convinced are the little animals by Mungai's anecdotes of wealth and happiness, the gullible companions persuade multitudes of other species from the woodland, jungle and rainforest to come along as well.But, things are not quite what they seem, and before long, through the force of sheer greed, the future of their beloved environment is in the balance."Amelia Curzon has created a beautiful fable in "Mungai and the Goa Constrictor" that warns of the effects of destruction of the forest in a fashion that is innocent, entertaining and compelling" - Scarlett Raines"A witty and fascinating story filled with a splendid collection of characters" - Jason Sullivan
