There would be long days of heat, flies, and boredom, but Africa is a land of fascinating contrasts, and there would also be early dewy mornings in forest places, where birds chatter and dart, bright-winged, from tree to tree in search of read berries and golden fruit. We should listen to the plovers shrilling their strange, weird note as they flew by in warm, scented nights, and we should hear the howling of hyenas, the roaring of prowling nocturnal lions. We should live beneath sunny skies - we should be stung to madness by mosquitoes! We should be imprisoned behind barriers of desert and forest - yet we should be free! Free! That was the dream. We landed in due course at Port Sudan, and went as far as the railway could take us - to El Obeid. There we got down to the task. What an adventure it proved to be I have tried to tell in the following pages." Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
