St James’s Gazette.—“A strange and weird story is ‘A Son of Africa,’ the latest from the pen of Anna, Comtesse de Brémont, author of ‘The Gentleman Digger.’ From the writer of that story we expect and get vivid word-pictures and local colouring. The descriptions of scenery and incident are wonderfully striking and impressive.… Such is the story of ‘A Son of Africa’ in brief outline. The filling in is sometimes lurid, but always forceful. It is written with power and grip.”
