Gorilla Adventure

I loved all these books when I was young (bit strange for a girl to like them maybe? Maybe not) so I was pleased when my son brought one home from his primary school library. I had no idea that Willard Price was so prolific though - I think I only read perhaps five of his books when I was young and thought then that I'd worked my way through his entire catalogue. Thanks to Amazon, I now know that in fact if there's an animal in the jungle that Willard HASN'T written a book about, it must be feeling miffed. Slow Loris Adventure anyone? Whatever, my son is very happy to have such a rich source of reading matter and is happily working his way through them all. Beware: some of the language is decidely non-PC and could be deemed offensive. It's up to you to decide whether or not your child can identify anything inappropriate, also whether it will spoil his/her enjoyment of these stories.

No problem thank you

As expected

Great read!!

I read and loved several of Willard Price's adventure books when I was a girl (30+ years ago) and was thrilled to discover they were still in print for my daughter, who is now 8 years old. I was worried they might seem a bit dated (some of the other books I enjoyed as a child now are) but they don't seem to be at all. We have to prise them out of my daughter's hands so she will go to sleep at night, and she wants to read the whole lot....

Was supposed to be in good condition but unfortunately the book was very well worn and not worth the money paid for it

Oh yes, to be back on the trail with Hal and Roger was a real treat for me as a reader, yes I read the originals a goodly number of years ago but to get them all rereleased so that I can share them with my nephews, that's sheer heaven. Here in the this title, the Hunt's are on the trail in Africa, a country that the author had a love affair with for many years. The prose is sharp, the antics amusing and whilst as an older reader I tend to sympathise more with Hal, Roger still keeps me entertained as they seek the objectives of their quests in quite inventive ways.Add to this a wonderfully warm and inviting writing style that just takes you away and for me as a reader it was sheer bliss to return to fond memories that I hope younger readers will get just as much out of.

I used to be a school librarian and these were great books to recommend to boys. Well thought out stories and informative

Great
