Description:
Ontario: Paideia Press. Very Good. 1981. First Edition. Softcover. 0888157886 . Very good condition. Cover has light edge wear, light scuffing and two light creases on front. Pages are clean and intact, fairly heavy age tanning to pages and inside covers. B/w illus. Saved by Hassewiets and nursed back to health at the mission, Wambu learns more about Jesus. But the mystersy and magic of the old witchcraft die hard in the boy's heart. Wambu feels caught between the compassion of the new religion and the tyranny of the old. In the meantime, a language barrier keeps him from explaining about the captives back in Kitoe. Playing on Wambu's lingering superstition and fear, some distant relative cannibals try to force Wambu to guide an attack on the mission. Just in time he escapes to help frustrate the assault. At last he can ask for help for the captive children. A small but well-armed police squad makes a lighning dash to Kitoe, with Wambu as guide. (os149) ; 8vo 8" - 9"…
