Books by Dan Wylie

The first study to probe the primary features, and possible effects, of some major literary genres as they pertain to elephants south of the Zambezi over three centuries: indigenous forms, early European travelogues, hunting accounts, novels, game ranger memoirs, scientists' accounts, and poems.

Myth of Iron is the first book-length scholarly study of the famous Zulu leader Shaka to be published.

Dan Wylie's Crocodile tracks the 23 recognized crocodilian species across every continent bar Antarctica, and through myths, artworks and literatures around the world.

We all picture Shaka as a lean, mean, assegai-wielding warrior-king, the military genius who founded the Zulu nation. In fact, we don't actually know when he was born, what he looked like, or exactly when he died.
