'Kisoo got to his knees and crept towards the doorway. As he went to pick up his bow, his hand touched the other bow - the one that belonged to the stranger.' Stealing the stranger's bow was only the start of Kisoo's adventures - which led him to another tribe, people who he thought would eat him! Instead they told him about 'That good friend, Jesus'. The highlands of New Guinea are the setting for this exciting adventure.

A.E.W. Mason's The Broken Road is the fourth novel in the 'Lesser-known Raj Fiction' series edited by Ralph Crane. A gripping adventure romance of the Frontier first published in 1907, The Broken Road tells of the building of the Road, and, through the relationship between the two maincharacters, Dick Linforth, scion of a family of Empire-builders, and Shere Ali, the Prince of Chiltistan, compellingly explores the sense of duty that drove successive generations of British men to sacrifice their lives to the goals of Empire, and the contentious issue of educating Indian princes inEngland. While undoubtedly reinscribing the image of a confident and secure empire characteristic of much Raj fiction of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the novel also offers unusual insights into the human cost-on both sides of the racial divide-of producing that image, making itof significant interest to readers interested in colonial and postcolonial literatures, as well as general readers.This new, critical edition of The Broken Road, which includes a detailed introduction, a chronology of A.E.W. Mason's life, maps, and extensive explanatory notes, makes available a fascinating work of Raj fiction.
