Tales of France: For the Works of Georges D'Esparbes, Auguste Marin, Anatole Le Braz, Jules Claretie, Francois Coppee (1904)

Diplomatic Weekends in Africa is a travelogue comprised of six stories, containing factual depictions of trips the author experienced in Sub-Saharan Africa, while working for the U.S. Government. Vivid depictions of the countries visited are told through the eyes of a young, idealistic diplomat, eager to discover the wonders of the region. The tales include monstrous pool crabs, a world-renowned explorer, suspended rope bridges, pink lakes, Tuarge traders, and little girls serenading that a white man had come to paradise. The six tales transport the reader to the little-known island nation of Sao Tome and Principe, Two Days on Sao Tome, the pristine rain forest of the Congo Basin, A Walk in the Woods in Gabon, the dusty roadways of Timbuktu, A White Man Comes to Paradise, GorAA©e Island off of the coast of Senegal, An Island for Slaves and a Pink Lake, the former Gold Coast of Ghana, Spicy Shrimps Soup at La Palm Royal, and to a magical ascent above Cameroon, A Day on Mount Cameroon.
