Product Description

Book Description

Commissioner Sanders is called upon by the British Government 'to keep a watchful eye upon some quarter of a million cannibal folk, who ten years before had regarded white men as we regard the unicorn.' Written when world powers were vying for colonial honour, Sanders of the River encapsulates the beliefs and assumptions that motivated such quests. There is religious-palava, raiding-palava, and all the while, Bosambo, magnificent chief of the Ochori watches on. AUTHBIO: Edgar Wallace was a soldier, poet, war correspondent, reporter, author and playwright. He wrote more than 170 books, which have been translated into 28 languages and sales of which have exceeded 50 million copies. Over 160 films have been made from his books - more than any other author. He was working on the original screenplay for King Kong when he died. In the 1920s one of Wallace's many publishers claimed that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmeric!, 4 Dec 2007
Pulchritude cannot be mesmerized. And yet within the incipiences of this book certain phrases linger and jostle in the undergrowth only to leap out and jaw us, as it were, by dint of gripping our wizened limbs with the hackneyed fangs of a beautiful surprise. Meanwhile, Sanders cavorts in his shorts and dispenses wise words from underneath his benign sun helmet. Those were the days! But was he a virgin? Probably. And you? Probably not. Such has the world changed. Edgar Wallace would be very bitter. He liked his tea extremely sweet. Six sugars. And endless cups. In the end it polished the poor fellow off. He was diabetic!

5.0 out of 5 stars A view of Empire, 22 May 2009
By RCDG (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this for my Mom who remembered it fondly from her childhood. She enjoyed it again. It is an easy read and the stories are straightforward and entertaining. Be warned this was written by a man who was a child of Empire and so its view of simple child-like natives and benevolent white man ruling them may grate modern sensibilities.
