- Hardcover
Condition: clean copy, some wear on dust jacket.
Content: This is the narrative of the trip In 1957 by Nicholas Mosley and Hugo Charteris, two novelists, of a journey by car from Dakar to Lagos across West Africa. Their route took them partly through the progressive and nationalist areas of the coast, but more especially to the tribes of the interior; so that they seemed 'to be moving up and down the country not only in space, but also in centuries, as if we were travelers on a time machine.'
