The Golden Pool

Richard Austin Freeman recounts an incredible voyage to North Africa and Ashanti in search of the Aboasi mine, dug by Christians in search of gold. Along the way, a young Englishman steals a local ritual treasure and his misadventures are retold here. This rumbustious adventurer is met by all manner of dangers in a remarkable latter day exploit. Once required reading by the British colonial services in Africa, this tale will delight fans of high adventure.
