(More customer reviews)So wrote the New York Times about the first Trader Horn book.
The second Trader Horn book is explained this way on the dustjacket:
"How Mrs. Etheldra Lewis of Johannesburg on one fine day bought a gridiron from a peddler, and then induced him to write a book is now a famous story. What is perhaps not so well known is that Alfred Aloysius Horn had lived so romantic a life, that the telling of it (with Mrs. Lewis' notes) occupies not one, but three volumes.
Here romance runs amuck -- the remembered romance of the ancient mariner's Vyking ancestors. 'Aye, ma'am, 'tis Vykings I have in my head this time.' The tale is set in strange seas and lands, much of the action taking place in his beloved Lancashire, in Africa, and even in suprising parts of America.
Again the story is set down as the old man scrawled it in his dingy lodgings by candle light; and Mrs. Lewis presents at the end of each chapter those racy conversations in which Aloysius bares the stout heart of the true adventurer, and his editor turns salty philosophy into memorable literature."
