New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1939. Hardcover. xx+348p., author's note, introduction, index, illustrated with doubled endpaper maps and b&w photos. Nigeria, the British Camaroons, France, and Spanish Guinea. Hardbound in dark blue boards gilt, and enclosed in the wood-engraved dust jacket. Awfully nice copy, massive undecorated blue cloth boards spine-titled gilt, dust jacket price-clipped and toned, chipped in places with a bit of dust-soil, an impressive copy. Egerton liked his stay, enormously. Dunno if he was entitled to share the eighty wives.

New York: Charles Scribners, 1939. 248pp/illus Egerton traveled extensively through the French Cameroons while working under Bronislaw Malinowski. His travels took him through Douala, Yaounde, N"kongsamba, Edea, Ebolowa, Kribi and Bangangté.

He describes in detail the customs, way of life, beliefs, activities, etc. of the native King and his peoples, including a visit to a group of lepers. He also provides many excellent photographs to complement his narrative. When Egerton told a friend of his intended travels the response he received was a bellowing - "Anyone who would go to the French Cameroons for pleasure would go to Hell for pastime." Clean.
