| 6. | Show Me the Magic: Travels Round Benin by Taxi Paperback by Annie Caulfield. This is a travel book about Dahomey (Benin) - an inhospitable country in Africa where corruption is rife and where Catholicism shares a place with Gri Gri, the local Voodoo. The muslim north of the country is arid and tough, whereas the south is colourful, sophisticated and artistic. The countryside ranges from pretty English rural, to arid sub-Sahara. Annie experiences this country of contrasts from the back seat of a taxi driven by a wacky control freak called Isidore. (Amazon.com Sponsored Result) |
| 9. | Halfhyde at the Bight of Benin (The Halfhyde Adventures, No. 1) Kindle Edition by Philip McCutchan. It’s the 1890s. Royal Navy Lieutenant St Vincent Halfhyde finds himself out of favor with the navy and on half-pay ashore when he is summoned to the Admiralty. His mission: to sail to the Bight of Benin in West Africa and spy on the not-so-secret Russian presence there. As a Russian speaker who is familiar with Benin, Halfhyde is confident he can do the job—until he runs into Admiral Prince Gorsinski, cousin of the Czar and Halfhyde’s former jailer. Aided only by an eager midshipman and a company of Russian mutineers, Halfhyde must face the dangers of flogging, malaria, and the smothering embrace of a former lover to foil Gorsinski and seize the day for Britain.
