Deep in the forest on the banks of the Amazon, the boom of a great buzz-saw announces a lonely outpost of English enterprise. From there the story ranges back to Burnley Hall in England and away down the river into the jungle, through a kidnapping, a child lost in the forest and pitched fights with hostile tribes.
A vivid Edwardian boys’ adventure whose attitudes to the peoples of South America are very much those of 1900. Download the free EPUB.
