Mr. F. C. SELOUS says : " No lion story I have ever heard or read equals in 

 its long-sustained and dramatic interest the story of the ' Tsavo Man- Eaters ' as told 

 by Colonel Patterson. " 



TIMES. " The story Colonel Patterson tells us is given very simply and quietly, 

 with no aiming whatever at effect. It does not need it ; the facts are overpoweringly 

 dramatic by themselves. No wonder Mr. Selous, when reading the proof-sheets, 

 found the best part of two nights pass like magic, and it is certain that every reader 

 will be equally spell-bound." 



SATURDAY REVIEW. " Colonel Patterson tells some of the most thrilling 

 lion stories we have ever read. . . . No boy's book of imaginary adventures 

 published at this season is likely to make its reader hold his breath more frequently 

 than this modest but veracious record. " 



COUNTRY LIFE. "One of the best books of African adventure printed 

 during the last fifty years ; a book which we dare to believe will become a classic, as 

 it well deserves to do. ... It is a wonderful tale, told most ably, yet with the most 

 becoming modesty by the author."

COUNTRY LIFE. "Colonel Patterson writes in the same manly and good 

 style of which he showed his mastery in his previous volume, and the things he has 

 to relate are at least equally exciting." 



DAILY NEWS. " If you wish to enjoy the wildest dangers by proxy, here is 

 the book for you. ... As a book of sport and adventure this, we feel, is the book 

 of the season." 



DAILY TELEGRAPH. " Colonel Patterson's Man-Eaters of Tsavo enjoyed, 

 we believe, a degree of popularity rarely vouchsafed to a book of big-game hunting, 

 and this latest instalment of his adventures will no doubt secure an equally large 

 public. For it is thoroughly virile, spirited, and sportsmanlike." 



TRUTH. " In a word, In the Grip of the Nyika is as fascinating a story of 

 'Sport/ whether from the point of view of the lion or of the man, as The Man- 

 Eaters of Tsavo, and one could not ask for more. "
