A book about strange animals:- the wildebeeste, the bongo, even the Mrs. Gray lechwe. Frank Hibben writes intimately about them, from the viewpoint of a hunter not satisfied with the Big Five of African game. He writes neither as a professional hunter, professional naturalist nor professional writer, but he knows the history of African hunting and writes of his experiences with enthusiasm if not always with grace. A defined market, rather than a general one- vicarious hunters who yearn for the African safari.
