General Note Title from eBook information screen..
Summary, Etc. This is not the 1940 version but is based on the edition originally published in 1935 in the US by Little, Brown: Boston, now public domain. The African Queen is a tale replete with vintage Forester drama—unrelenting suspense, reckless heroism, impromptu military manoeuvres, near-death experiences—and a good old-fashioned love story to boot. As World War I reaches the heart of the African jungle, Charlie Allnutt and Rose Sayer, a dishevelled trader and an English spinster missionary, find themselves thrown together by circumstance. Fighting time, heat, malaria, and bullets, they make their escape on the rickety steamboat The African Queen . . . and hatch their own outrageous military plan.
