Abstract
THIS is a book which will infallibly commend itself to the far from numerous class who, having experienced, love the African wild. Others will enjoy the reading, but the book is primarily for those who believe that “Kenya was worth more to the world when she produced wonders and imaginings than sisal and coffee”, for those like the author who “hate the whole spirit of successful Bognorization which is disenchanting the land”. Mr. Gandar Dower believes that the best he can hope for from his readers is the half-conscious thought, “Why, this is good”, and from those who have known the old safari days he will doubtless obtain his desired verdict. For them the book, charmingly written, will come as a relief and a joy after the stereotyped routine of the usual expedition of to-day.
