Product Description

Product Description

Sanders is leaving Africa!

Trouble has beset the popular and respected Commissioner in recent weeks. Bosambo, Chief of the Ochori, made himself scarce just before the arrival of bumbling English Cabinet Minister Blowter -- who was abducted and then strangely rescued . . . and now, out of the blue, the Commissioner is granted six months' leave.

This puts Sanders' unsettled sector of Africa under the oversight of Hamilton of the Houssas, together with an entirely unknown and probably inexperienced young man named Francis Augustus Tibbetts -- promptly dubbed "Bones" upon his arrival.

Trouble begins from the start. As news spreads of the Commissioner's departure, N'gori, the Chief of the Akasava, sets his drums to calling for a dance-of-many-days.

A dance-of-many-days spells "spears" -- and spears spell trouble!

English novelist Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was author of Sanders of the River, Jack O' Judgment, and The Angel of Terror, among many other popular novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny! Classical! Innocent and endearing humour!, Jun 9 2004
This review is from: Bones (Paperback)
Bones has the knack of getting into trouble - and exasperating his chief, captain Hamilton! These are witty, humourous adventures of the innocent Lieutenant Tibbets, "Bones" as he is known to his colleagues, in British West Africa as lieutenant of the Houssas.

Set in colonial times, these are stories that bring up a vivid imagery of the child-like natives and their imperialist bosses: co-existing in an uncomfortable state of uneasy peace...

I recommend this book for its pure, unadulterated and innocent fun.
