Description

The second book in the 'Sanders of the River' series, 'The People of the River' gives us a little more insight into the working of the eponymous Commissioner's mind.

Wonderfully witty, decidedly facetious, and always irreverent, this is a collection of encounters between Commissioner Sanders and the Nigerian natives under colonial rule.

In addition to the vignettes Wallace paints, this serves as a fascinating record of the cultural clash experienced by both the invaders and the oppressed.

A superb read for Wallace fans and those with an interest in history, where the lines between fact and fiction are brilliantly blurred.Prior to the success of 'King Kong', which he co-created, Edgar Wallace published a selection of tales about Commissioner Sanders and his adventures in Africa under British rule.
