Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on December 04, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Peter! Another year older and wiser—though we're still waiting for your memoir on how to gracefully dodge crocodiles while penning bestsellers. Your vivid storytelling in "Mukiwa" and "When a Crocodile Eats the Sun" has captivated readers worldwide; rumor has it even Mugabe secretly admired your prose.

May this birthday bring you fewer close encounters with wildlife (both literal and political) but plenty of inspiration for more gripping tales. Keep writing, keep inspiring—and remember: age is just another chapter in the epic saga that is Peter Godwin's life story!

Cheers to many more adventures ahead!
