Excerpt from King Mombo
My Dear Young Folks, - In writing the books I have written for you in years past I left untold many of the adventures that happened to me in the great African forest, either with the wild men and savage tribes I encountered or in hunting the wild beasts. I could write many more volumes upon these subjects, and still there would be much left unsaid.
"Stories of the Gorilla Country," "Lost in the Jungle," "Wild Life under the Equator," "My Apingi Kingdom," "The Country of the Dwarfs," did not tell all I saw or all that happened to me during the many years of my African life.
I am to travel in Russia, and I have put into the hands of my friends and publishers, Messrs. Charles Scribner"s Sons, the manuscripts of two further books I have written for you, telling more of my adventures in the Great Forest. These two volumes, of which "King Mombo" is the first, will be published during my absence, and will be companions to "The Land of the Long Night" and "The World of the Great Forest."
In the meantime I say good-by.
