Review: One of the most remarkable stories about Africa - This story sounds too amazing to be true, but is what actually happened. If you only get to read one book about the power of lions in Africa and to understand why they are given almost mythical status, this is that one. Good read for teenagers and adults Review: The original ripping yarn - This book is a cracking good read and the author is a credit to the Empire. I hunted this book down due to references to it in the excellent memoirs of Jack Couffer naturalist/filmmaker The Lion and the Giraffe: A Naturalists Life In the Movie Business . (Also a very gratifying read). This book recounts memoirs of Patterson's life as a supervising engineer building a railroad through Africa, the most memorable being the campaign of terror waged by 2 lions who kept eating the help. Being written at the turn of the century by a white colonial this book is not politically correct and the casual racism and depictions of killing animals for sport may be a problem for some. However Patterson is such an engaging character who laughs at himself as much as others that it is easy to become involved in his anecdotes. It is certainly an account of a time and place now long gone and provides many observations on the (then) unspoilt African landscape and its human and animal inhabitants. It is written in a very accessible style that is not typical of accounts written in the Victorian era. It is the original ripping yarn that fired the imaginations of British school boys such as my father. My Dad commented that it was this sort of book that inspired him to emigrate to the colonies (no, he didn't find any man-eating lions in Australia). This kindle edition is excellent with no problems of readability and is a bargain. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00J0L72R4 | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,086 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #22,425 in Literature & Fiction (Books) #27,044 in Literature & Fiction (Kindle Store) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,609) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 816 KB | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 181 pages | | Publication date | July 14, 2014 | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![The Man-Eaters of Tsavo (Illustrated) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718bo5DwlsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the most remarkable stories about Africa *by R***K on December 22, 2025* This story sounds too amazing to be true, but is what actually happened.

Only thing odd is there is no title on the spine of the book to identify it. So you just have to remember that the blank yellow book on the self is this on? Also the author references photographs a few times. There are no photos in this addition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/130500909-the-man-eaters-of-tsavo-illustrated](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/130500909-the-man-eaters-of-tsavo-illustrated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
