Introduction and edited by Patrick Hemingway. The last novel, written when he returned from a 1953 safari in Africa but only edited by his son and released some 46 years later. This book is " a rich blend of autobiography and fiction, a breathtaking final work from one of this century's most beloved and important writers. The book opens on the day Hemingway's close friend, Pop, a legendary hunter, leaves him in charge of the camp. Meanwhile, tensions are heightening among the various tribes and news arrives of a potential attack. Hemingway must take on his new role of leader and, of equal importance, assist his wife Mary to pursue the great lion she is determined to kill before Christmas.".
