Posted to Nigeria in 1954, Scottish forester Donald Macintosh spent the next 30 years travelling through the 'white man's grave' - the vast, mysterious, primeval forests of West and Central Africa.
He heard tales of ancient Africa from the lips of hunters, fishermen and witch doctors; encountered the incredible creatures of the forest, from the magnificent leopard to the homicidal buffalo; and befriended a range of remarkable and eccentric characters such as 'Old Man Africa', 'Magic T Sperm', 'Famous Sixpence' and 'Pisspot'. With the forests now sadly decimated, this is a rare and poignant and sometimes hilarious glimpse into Africa's vanished past.
