Lionel Leslie (1900-1987) was the son of Leonie Leslie (née Jerome), sister of Winston Churchill's mother, making him Winston's cousin. Winston was also Lionel's godfather. Churchill calls Leslie "a realist with a keen if ingenuous eye" and says of the book that it "tells a plain tale in a lively and agreeable fashion, and should be welcomed most of all by those who will envy the author his enjoyable, though sometimes dangerous roamings." There are three chapters on East Africa in this work of far flung adventures, one includes hunting after lion and rhinoceros near Mt. Kilimanjaro.
