Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Kenneth Farnhill (illustrator). New Edition. First published in 1949, this is a new edition of 1973. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, slight yellowing to back jacket. Not price clipped (£2.75), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 704pp. Part of the trilogy of historical novels on Africa and the slave trade, begun with 'The Sun is My Undoing'. At 14 Johnny Flood ran away to sea. A few hard won years in his uncle's shipping business won final reward in a mission to the Gold Coast, a dangerous mission into the interior to find the reasons behind the failure of his uncle's business there. His eager desire to treat the natives differently- to make Africa what he felt it might be, he took back to England, and at the close of the story- as he takes his part in the Ashanti wars, his fight is for better conditions all around. The romance with Emily- its needless frustration- his marriage and its outcome, play second place to the drama of empire. Marguerite Steen (1894-1975), prolific British historical novelist and travel writer, and lover of artist Sir William Nicholson. A scarce book. Seller Inventory # 003748
