The chapters comprised in the present volume were written at various times during the last ten years. Some of them have already appeared in print in the pages of the Field, Land and Water, and other papers, but the majority have remained in manuscript until now. The greatest part of the matter in the chapters on the "Lion" was written some years ago, and was intended to be the commencement of a book dealing entirely with the life-history of South African mammals. When, however, I was asked by Mr. Rowland Ward to contribute to a book he was about to publish on the Great and Small Game of Africa, all the articles in which would be written by men who had personally studied the habits of the animals they described, I gave up the idea of myself writing a less comprehensive work on similar lines, and became one of the chief contributors to Mr. Ward's large and valuable publication.
My manuscript notes on the lion and some other animals were then consigned to the seclusion of a drawer in my study, from which they would probably never again have emerged had it not been for the fact that during the autumn of 1905 I had the honour to be the guest of President Roosevelt at the White House in Washington.

Selous is evidently a well known author of African experiences. It helps to understand how the continent developed, especially south Africa. People interested in African History and Safaris would enjoy this.Product details

Very informative, well written.
A must
Great book by the master African hunter.
It's OK, but not the best I've read, although I like the author
Very informative!
I love a good a good historical story about safaris and wildlife stories. If that is your thing you will like this one as well
A good read about Africa in a bygone era. Selous was a famous professional hunter, but this book is far more nature study than hunting stories. Well written and engaging.
