A warm and engaging memoir, Down Bush: A Boy's Life in Africa is a tale of growing up in Nigeria, West Africa, as a child of missionary teachers. It tells the story of a boy's adventures and misadventures in the African bush, from his early years living in a grass-roofed house and encountering a giant snake and deadly hippopotamus, through riots and civil war, to the the joys and struggles of life at a faraway boarding school. Amusing accounts of loan sharking, black marketeering, and an electrifying burglar alarm provide glimpses into the enterprising mind, indefatigable energy, and intrepid curiosity of a boy growing from a small child to a young adult. Down Bush is a candid revealing, and fascinating look at life as a missionary kid in a newly independent African nation.
