Lieutenant Bones

If you can imagine Rowan Atkinson's 'Mr Bean' as a lieutenant serving in Africa during the days of the British Empire, then you've got a good idea of 'Lieutenant Bones.'When Commissioner Sanders goes on leave, the African territories are left under the watchful eye of Lieutenant 'Bones' Hamilton. However, it soon becomes painfully obvious that our hapless hero is definitely not up to the job - particularly when trying to negotiate peace talks with a local chief. A light-hearted look at a soldier completely out of his depth, 'Lieutenant Bones' is the ideal read for those interested in humourous adventure stories. Prior to the success of 'King Kong', which he co-created, Edgar Wallace published a selection of tales about Commissioner Sanders and his adventures in Africa under British rule.
