But look out for cannibals" - Hal and Roger receive a tempting cable from their father, and soon are off exploring one of the strangest, most mysterious parts of the globe to search for rare creatures for their family's animal farm. The dense jungles of New Guinea hold many dark secrets for the two explorers: a witch doctor's evil curses, a killer crocodile determined to make Roger his next meal, a collection of deadly king cobras, and a murderous old enemy just out of jail and bent on revenge.Willard Price has visited seventy-seven foreign countries and served as editor for several magazines on travel and world affairs. He was born in Peterborough, Ontario, and educated at Western Reserve and Columbia universities, where he obtained B. A. , M. A. , and Litt. D. Degrees. His special interests include history, ethnology, and exploration. He lived for six years in Japan while serving as foreign correspondent to New York and London newspapers and has made numerous expeditions for the American Museum of Natural History and the National Geographic Society. Mr. Price now makes his home in Cathedral City, California. From Wikipedia: The "Adventure" series is a collection of children's adventure novels by Canadian-born American author Willard Price. The fourteen-book series chronicles the exploits of budding teenage zoologists Hal and Roger Hunt, as they travel around the world capturing exotic and dangerous animals for their father's wildlife collection. Shortly before his death, in 1983, Price commented that: My aim in writing the Adventure series for young people was to lead them to read by making reading exciting and full of adventure. At the same time I want to inspire an interest in wild animals and their behavior. Judging from the letters I have received from boys and girls around the world, I believe I have helped open to them the worlds of books and natural history. EB; 8.0 X 5.5 X 1.0 inches; 244 pages.
