Patterson is such an engaging character who laughs at himself as much as others that it is easy to become involved in his anecdotes. It is certainly an account of a time and place now long gone and provides many observations on the (then) unspoilt African landscape and its human and animal inhabitants. It is written in a very accessible style that is not typical of accounts written in the Victorian era.(Amazon customer)
