About this ebook
'I want you to go up the Isango, Bones,' said Sanders, 'there may be some trouble there - a woman is working miracles.'
Unexpected things happen in the territories of the Belgian Congo where Commissioner Sanders keeps an uneasy peace, aided by his trusty assistant Lieutenant Hamilton and hindered, unintentionally, by the trouble-prone Bones. He must deal with 'ju-ju', 'religious-palava', lost vials of virulent disease...and all the while Bosambo, the magnificent king of the Ochori, watches on.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Read while on holidays in Springfield Castle, County Limerick. This is a series of short stories about Sanders, the English High Commisioner in a part of Africa and one of his assistants Bones, who is well-meaning but dim. I really enjoy these stories, some of which are stupid and racist but several of which are quite a lot of fun. These are of their time and do offer an insight into the lives and times of people then.
