Book Description
'Cupid in Africa' is an adventure novel written by Percival Christopher Wren. The story begins by introducing us to a man named Major Hugh Walsingham Greene, who is described as being a very honorable, upright and scrupulous gentleman, but also very dull, narrow-minded, pompous, and irascible. The Great War broke out and gave him something new to do and think about, but it also made him very unhappy. He had a luckless and unfortunate life with his two wives and one son, his good intentions but poor achievements, his kind heart but harsh exterior, and his narrow escapes of recognition and promotion. He was not lucky at cards or in love, and his son was a disappointment to him, being a poet, artist, musician and intellectual, and the first in the family to grow up as a civilian. He only saw his son on rare occasions, and tried to hide his disappointment from him and his distaste for his pale and slim beauty, which reminded him too much of his mother.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Nor, when the Great War broke out, and gave him something fresh to do and to think about, were there many sadder and unhappier men. His had been a luckless and unfortunate life, what with his two wives and his one son; his excellent intentions and deplorable achievements; his kindly heart and harsh exterior; his narrow escapes of decoration, recognition and promotion. At cards he was not lucky-and in love he . . . well-his first wife, whom he adored, died after a year of him; and his second ran away after three months of his society. She ran away with Mr. Charles Stayne-Brooker (elsewhere the Herr Doktor Karl Stein-Br�cker), the man of all men, whom he particularly and peculiarly loathed. And his son, his only son and heir! The boy was a bitter disappointment to him, turning out badly-a poet, an artist, a musician, a wretched student and "intellectual," a fellow who won prizes and scholarships and suchlike by the hatful, and never carried off, or even tried for, a "pot," in his life. Took after his mother, poor boy, and was the first of the family, since God-knows-when, to grow up a dam' civilian.

Bertram Greene, brilliant student, aesthete, intellectual and shy, decides to make his military father proud of him at last and joins the colonial Indian Army Reserve as a second Lieutenant at the start of Great War. Feeling a complete fish out of water, he is dispatched to India without any training whatsoever, and is expected to take charge of a company of native soldiers. He is then posted to East Africa to join the British fighting force there, and finds out what real soldiering means.
