From the back cover: Small boys and sleeping dictionaries, bush camps and blackwater fever, mosquito-boots and mammy chairs - the vanished world of British Colonial Africa captured in the vivid stories and recollections of pioneering men and women who lived and worked there.
One man's reminiscences. Charles Allen, English journalist was born in India in the last years of the British Raj. His first book (Plain Tales From the Raj) caught the imagination of many. This book, written in 1979 looks at images of British Colonial Africa in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Very interesting and imagination catching.
