In 1980 seven-year-old Sabine Kuegler and her family went to live in a remote jungle area of West Papua, Indonesia, among the then recently discovered Fayu -- a tribe untouched by modern civilisation. Her childhood was spent not playing with dolls but with snakes and real bows and arrows, and eating not sweets but roast bat and insects. Aged seventeen, she attended a boarding school in Switzerland and gradually made her way back into Western society -- a journey that was at times painful and difficult, but one she ultimately survived, acknowledging that a part of her will always be a child of the jungle. Jungle Child is Sabine's account of her remarkable life. Click here to read an extract, here to order a copy, or here for contact details. |
