Title: Good fun
Review: Published in 1885, this is a classic that is worth reading. Alan Quatermain is the main character, a hunter and adventurer. He is approached by two friends to help them find the son of one of them. Alan remembers meeting the son who was on his way to the fabled mines. The three set off and of course things don't always go smoothly for them. There are some great descriptions of Africa and they have some amazing adventures, coming close to death, being involved in a war and so on. It's kind of a boy's book I suppose but I enjoyed the writing and wanted to keep reading to see how it all turned out. Good fun.
