Description

Hamlyn’s Purlieu is a beautiful three-hundred-year-old estate and, through the folly of Fred Allerton, it has been lost. 

Fred’s children, Lucy and George, embark on a journey to repair damage done by their father. Their explorations take them to the wilds of Africa, where difficult trials, wild adventure, and romance awaits. Though one of Maugham’s earlier novels, this tale is filled with his finely-crafted prose and wonderful dialogue.
