DU CHAILLU’S
Gorilla Country.
STORIES OF THE GORILLA COUNTRY: Narrated for Young People. By Paul B. Du Chaillu, Author of “Discoveries in Equatorial Africa,” “Wild Life under the Equator,” &c. Profusely Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, $1 75.
“The stories it contains are full of the kind of novelty, peril, and adventure which are so fascinating to children.... It is a capital book for boys.”—London Spectator.
“Exceedingly interesting—as much so as even ‘Robinson Crusoe’ ever was—not only to young people on account of its striking novelty and charming and natural style, but to the aged and learned as well.”—New York Herald.
“These stories are entertaining, and are well told, and they are calculated to impart much knowledge of natural history to youthful readers.”—Boston Traveller.
“M. Du Chaillu tells his stories in a ‘once-upon-a-time’ way, with a personal zest which is quite captivating.”—Hartford Press.
“Almost a rival of ‘Robinson Crusoe’ for intense interest, while it has this advantage over that work, that it is a narrative of facts.”—Sunday-School Times.
“It is a book for young people—true, every line of it, but full of action, adventure, enterprise, and peril, and as exciting as a well-told fairy tale.”—Philadelphia Press.
“Du Chaillu’s stories of the cannibals, and of his adventures in the vast forests of Africa, and among the wild beasts and men no less wild, are told in a picturesque, vivacious style.”—New York Times.
