Allan Quatermain tells his friends of an elephant-hunting trip into the land of Wambe, a cruel chief who lets none of his children live. Maiwa, Wambe’s wife, whose child he has murdered, comes to Quatermain with a grisly message and a plan, and the hunter is drawn into an assault on the tyrant’s mountain stronghold.
A short, brisk Quatermain adventure; its view of Africa is that of an 1888 English romancer. Download the free EPUB.
