Allan’s Wife

Description

Elephants, lions, mandrills, and other fauna of the African wilds proliferate on these pages, and we have a Zulu impi and the subsequent butchery depicted with the creator’s typical clear intensity of portrayal. Our old companion, Allan Quatermain, figures as the legend all through, and the most considerable aspect of the volume is busy with the account of his charming, and the short scene of his wedded life. The sentiment, in any case, is auxiliary to the sauce piquante of livelier occurrences.
