Author's Notes
I originally drafted Mila & Wallace early one morning while watching various animals coming to drink from a waterhole in a game reserve close to the Kruger National Park in South Africa. I noticed the differences between the cheeky Vervet monkeys and the more cautious, serious warthogs and that got me thinking about how opposites are often attracted to each other. I started telling my daughter stories based on this draft and now I have finally, after many years, published it.
