Other than the big guys and gals, Ie Hemingway, are there any African novels, such as mysteries or safaries? thanks for your help. capt david

For a start, search http://www.amazon.com for author Bartle Bull or Phillip Carpenter.

Try the novels by Bartle Bull. Great fictional reads.

The character in most, ie an English boy with part gypsy background is very loosely based on Bunny Allen.

Here's some fiction (novels, mysteries) that I have enjoyed:



Something of Value - Robert Ruark

Uhuru - Robert Ruark



Elephant Song - Wilbur Smith



Green City in the Sun - Barbara Wood



The Last Trophy - Brian Marsh



Ahmed's Revenge - Richard Wiley



The White Rhino Hotel - Bartle Bull

Cafe on the Nile - Bartle Bull

The Devil's Oasis - Bartle Bull



Natives and Strangers - Louisa Dawkins



Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad



The Covenant - James A. Michener



The African Queen - C. S. Forester

(A good read even if you've seen the Bogart movie)



King Solomon's Mines - H. Rider Haggard

Allan Quatermain - H. Rider Haggard



Some of these may be out of print. A good source for used books is:
