"There is nothing so interesting to the civilised man as a beast in the jungle. It was this truism which decided me to write this book. I flash-backed my mind to those days of jungle and bush adventures, and in one of those sanctuaries of civilisation called 'garden suburbs' penned page after page. Writing this book, I soon discovered, was the most perilous adventure of all. For as my pen dripped ink the lust for real adventure again overwhelmed me. There were two months when I flung the manuscript aside and flew by aeroplane to the Africa I love. It was an adventure worth while, and only an uneasy sense of duty brought me back to the book."
