The story of Nyango: The Girl with Healing Powers captures the life of a young girl named Nyango, born with the ability to heal. Her mother died while giving birth to her and she was raised by her grandmother, Sumediang, who was a renowned healer in their village.

What happened to our green and pleasant land - or is it more colourful and lovelier than ever? From politics to parenting and schooling, the honours system to the state of our national game (football), from the way we build our housing estates to how we behave at horse races, Progress, What Progress? offers up a wry and humorous commentary on what it means to live in 21st-century Britain.
