description: As a child Donald MacIntosh's heroine was Mary Kingsley a nineteenth-century traveler who successfully took on the forbidding forests and swamps of West Africa. It was an adventure he was to follow for much of his adult life spending thirty years as a forester in the so-called 'white man's grave'. MacIntosh however more than lived to tell his tales which he does so here with characteristic gusto and relish. As always they are rich with characters and humor.
