A Protestant missionary looks back on three decades in Madagascar, beginning with a history of the island’s first Christian converts and the ‘killing times’ under Queen Ranavalona. He then recounts his own district journeys, schools and churches, and the upheaval when the French took the island, written from a mission perspective that calls the old religion darkness.
