Am I the only one here who reads Gerald Durrell's books?

He mentions in the preface to his second “Cameroon” book that he was a bit worried about how the Fon had received his portrayal in the first book (this guy: Achirimbi II - Wikipedia), as Durrell described him (as you say, affectionately) as a smart guy who governed his state quite well, but who also had a prodigious appetite for sex and alcohol. He wrote the guy and apparently he didn’t mind the way the book desceibed him at all.

Good for the Fon ! From Durrell’s portrayal, he struck me as a splendid chap – wives and all…
