Dr. Roy Aronson is a South African veterinarian who has been in practice for more than 25 years. He self-published Tales of an African Vet in South Africa in March 2008. He is currently approaching the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and Animal Planet with a series by the same name. His book is available through all the National Parks Board stores throughout South African National Parks. He published a second book, It's a Vet's Life: Adventures in the City and the Wild, in July 2009 with Tafelberg. He is the South Africa Veterinary Association representative on the Commonwealth Veterinary Association and was invited to speak in November 2010 at the Commonwealth Vet Association International Congress.
"In this delightful book, the Crocodile Hunter meets James Herriot for an engaging look at the trials and tribulations of being a veterinarian in South Africa. Aronson's ... collection of stories is totally entertaining, and his deep commitment to wildlife and conservation comes through clearly. Readers will enjoy venturing into the African bush with Aronson but will be grateful to do so from the safety of their lounge chairs... This fascinating book is hard to put down; it will be enjoyed by a wide variety of readers of many ages." -Library Journal (starred review)
