"Constance Belcher Larymore was the wife of Major Henry Douglas Larymore.
He took part in various expeditions to Africa and was later British Resident at
Kumassi and Northern Nigeria. In this volume Constance Larymore writes of
her everyday life and journeys over a period of five years spent in Africa around
the start of the 20th century, taken from journals and notes made at the time.
The second part of the book contains chapters largely devoted to home life and
were not originally intended for publication in this form, and are the outcome of
actual experience of living in Africa. They were originally written in 1902, and later
revised and corrected as time showed the author her mistakes. The book includes
chapters on Bidda nad Egga, Keffie, Trekking North, Kano, Katagum, Borgu, Bida,
the household, dogs and poultry, the stable, camp life, and what to wear."
