He heard tales of ancient Africa from the lips of hunters, fishermen and witch doctors; encountered the incredible creatures of the forest, from the magficent leopard to the homicidal buffalo;and befriended a range of remarkable and eccentric characters such as "Old Man Africa"," Magic T. Sperm", "Famous Sixpence" and "Pisspot". With the forests now sadly decimated, this is a rare, poignant and sometimes hilarious glimpse into Africa's vanished past.
