FUN, FACTS & TRIVIA Derryn Campbell offers us this wonderfully eclectic and informative insight into all that is South African.

Thanks to the passion and commitment of Derryn and her colleagues, Awesome SA has brightened the hearts and outlook of thousands of people around the world. This book is a visual cacophony of all that is unique, exceptional, and noteworthy about South Africa: its heritage, its people and its heart. Irrespective of age, race or gender, the book is sure to be enjoyed by everyone – cynic and enthusiast.
