About this book
Dick Compton and Godfrey Venning plan to enter the forests of Central Africa for different reasons. Venning hopes to study unfamiliar animals, while Compton wants to recover his father's journal and understand an old letter written in Arabic. Its clues point toward a place called the Garden of Rest and a trader known as the Wolf. The friends seek the help of Mr. Hume, an experienced traveller willing to take young companions on his expedition.
Ernest Glanville's adventure novel brings a naturalist's curiosity into contact with the practical dangers of forest travel. The story moves from the friends' lively arguments about insects and languages to a tense night beside a damaged shelter, where a jackal helps them face a leopard.
