A nice copy of this "excellent work that covers the natural history of both large and small game animals of Africa. Lydekker utilized segments of text he had written for The Great and Small Game of Africa edited by H.A.Bryden, with much new material added. Especially interesting are the hunting vignettes related by numerous sportsmen such as Selous, Neumann, Powell-Cotton, and others in books and journal articles.’ (Czech)
