Central Africa, 1914; Rose Sayer, a thirty-three year-old English
woman, is left alone when her missionary brother dies. Her only
route out is aboard The African Queen, a steam-powered launch
captained by Cockney mechanic, Charlie Alnutt. Determined to do her
bit for the war effort and to avenge her brother, Rose persuades
Charlie that they should attack the German gunboat, the Koenigin
Luise. And so begins a most unlikely alliance and love affair, as
Charlie and Rose venture down the treacherous Ulanga river
encountering danger and adventure at every turn. This beautiful
Macmillan Collector's Library edition of The African Queen by C. S.
Forester features an introduction by the award-winning author and
journalist, Giles Foden. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the
Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift
editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's
Library are books to love and treasure.
