By Sir FREDERICK TREVES, Bart., G.C.V.O., C.B., LL.D., &c.,
Serjeant-Surgeon to H.M. the King, Surgeon in Ordinary to H.M. Queen Alexandra. Author of ‘Tale of a Field Hospital,’ ‘The Cradle of the Deep,’ &c.
Morning Post.—‘The distinguished surgeon writes for the benefit not of big game hunters, but of tourists like himself, who desire, for a change, to get beyond the beaten track.... The traveller cannot do better than take with him Sir Frederick’s entertaining volume, the interest of which is enhanced by the numerous photographs of places and people taken by him on the spot.’
Standard.—‘Sir Frederick Treves is becoming a pathfinder to the roving Englishman of leisure and intelligence ... another agreeable record of unconventional travel.... The book is written with imagination and humour, as well as with pithy directness and picturesque charm. Its attractiveness is enhanced by many fine pictures and an admirable map.’
Daily Mirror.—‘From start to finish the book brims over with good things; it is written in an easy and pleasant manner, and lifts one straight away from the humdrum of London to the boundless stretches of Central Africa, where lions and zebras are as common as cats in Bloomsbury.’
Country Life.—‘One feels in reading the book precisely as if one were traversing the region with a companion who was extremely well informed, agreeable and natural ... he writes with pure enthusiasm and the concentration of a scholar. The book is at once amusing and instructive to a very high degree.’
