KURU ART

The Kuru Art Project is one of the most successful of several income generating projects run by the Kuru D’kar Trust for the San of the Kalahari. Since its origin in 1990 as part of Kuru Development Trust, the artists from the Kuru Art Project have produced contemporary art which is totally original and remarkable in character. Although contemporary because of the modern techniques used, the unbelievably bright colours and the freedom of expression demonstrates strong links with the rock art once produced by the ancestors of these artists.

The Miss Marple of Botswana." -- The New York Times Book Review

This first novel in Alexander McCall Smith's widely acclaimed The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series tells the story of the delightfully cunning and enormously engaging Precious Ramotswe, who is drawn to her profession to "help people with problems in their lives." Immediately upon setting up shop in a small storefront in Gaborone, she is hired to track down a missing husband, uncover a con man, and follow a wayward daughter. But the case that tugs at her heart, and lands her in danger, is a missing eleven-year-old boy, who may have been snatched by witchdoctors.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency received two Booker Judges' Special Recommendations and was voted one of the International Books of the Year and the Millennium by the Times Literary Supplement
