Briza Publications author Attie Snyman is a former teacher, lecturer, and producer of television series, documentary films, and corporate video programs for the private sector. He currently writes full time. Attie grew up on the farm Koedoeskop in the Thabazimbi area, where his great love for nature and bushveld stories developed. It is also here where ‘Blinktand van Bosveldparadys‘ originated – and so Attie later began telling his Blinktand stories to his children, nephews and nieces, and even to his matric students. Years later, his family encouraged him to write them down before the stories would be lost. So he did, and today everyone, even adults, can read Blinktand’s delightful stories!

Dit is ook hier waar Blinktand van Bosveldparadys ontstaan het – en so het Attie later sy Blinktandstories vir sy kinders, nefies en niggies en selfs vir sy matriekleerlinge begin vertel. Jare later het sy familie hom aangemoedig om dit neer te skryf voordat die stories verlore sou gaan. So gemaak en so gedaan en vandag kan almal, selfs grootmense, Blinktand se lekker stories lees!
