Field-Marshal Lord Wolseley writes:—“It is just the sort of book I would give to any school-boy, for I know he would enjoy every page of it.”
The Rev. Dr. Wood, Head-master of Harrow, writes:—“I have read it through with interest. It is an excellent book for boys, full of vigour and romance.”
“The fierce struggles between the Bahima and the Arabs, with their Manyema allies, are told with a vigour and enthusiasm that will stir the heart of any boy.... When we add that Mr. Strang gives us a really graphic and thrilling impression of travel in the forests of Africa, and an almost living acquaintance with Arab and Negro, it is scarcely necessary to recommend it to boys as a delightful story of African adventure.”—Spectator.

In the Great White Land: A Tale of the Antarctic Ocean. With 6 Illustrations by J. A. Walton. 3s. 6d.
This is a most fascinating story from beginning to end. It is a true picture of what daring healthful British men and boys can do, written by an author whose name is a household word wherever the English language is spoken. All is described with a master’s hand, and the plot is just such as boys love.
“The narrative goes with a swing and a dash from start to finish.”—Public Opinion.

Two school chums join an expedition into the unexplored reaches of the vast central forest which the Okapi inhabits. The search for the strange animal, however, serves merely as an excuse for the journey, and once the little party is afloat on the Congo they go whither fortune leads them, and many and exciting are their adventures in the unknown wilds.
