A Hippo Banquet
'While engaged on this hunt I felt the earth quiver under my feet, and heard a soft big soughing sound, and looking round saw I had dropped in on a hippo banquet...' Told with verve and self-mocking wit, the adventures of doughty female Victorian explorer Mary Kingsley describe stumbling upon five hippos by night, dodging elephants and fighting off a leopard with a stool. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday.
Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Mary Kingsley (1862-1900).
Kingsley's work is available in Penguin Classics in Travels in West Africa.
