A small boy steps out of a mud hut a short distance from the Victoria Falls in Africa. He is thousands of miles away from leafy England where he was born. That boy is me. There are flying boats and steam locomotives, one of the drivers of which has a pet baboon that blows the train s whistle. Join me, as I learn about the strange superstitions and customs of the tribal people where witchdoctors prescribe magic potions and young girls are sold into marriage. Danger is never far away. A man is chased on his bicycle by a charging elephant and a couple have to escape from an angry hippopotamus. Share my memories of life and friends, my joys and sorrows and the unforeseen events that would later change my life.
