Scribner’s selection gathers late-Victorian tales of southern and western Africa. Conan Doyle’s early story tells how Lucky Tom won his fortune hunting a demon in a Cape valley; Rider Haggard’s Allan Quatermain tells of the lion hunt that left him lame in Long Odds; and W. C. Scully, J. Landers and Percy Hemingway add tales of witch-doctors, trading posts and debts.
Early work by Doyle and Haggard in one compact volume; the stories carry the imperial attitudes of the 1890s. Download the free EPUB.
