FIRST EDITION. Half title. Orig. green cloth, sl. marked. Blue & orange pictorial d.w., unclipped; a little rubbed. Zell, Bundy, & Coulon, p. 137. Dustjacket by Hugh Marshall. A bildungsroman about a boy who comes into conflict with his strict Christian father; the timeless plot and tight clarity of the prose belie the emotional complexity of the story; the father is a tyrant (the narrow path of the title is the life the father wants for the boy), and Selormey allows his main character to both love and resent him. Gerald Moore, in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, praised its 'great freshness and simplicity; his tale moves swiftly and involves the reader completely in the hero's painful pilgrmimage. His honesty is also frequently disarming. altogether this is a distinguished addition to African autobiography'.
