    About this audiobook

    Joe Carstairs is a boy on a farm in Australia. His father is a keen naturalist who, some years before had set off for New Guinea in search of specimens, and never been heard of again. Joe is old enough to mount a search expedition, and takes with him a local doctor and an aboriginal worker on his farm. They find themselves joined by a stowaway, Jimmy, whose father is a squatter (farmer) nearby, together with his dog, Gyp. This team sets off, arrive in New Guinea, hire some more porters, and travel guided by some sixth sense straight to where Mr. Carstairs has been kept a prisoner, along with another Englishman, whose mind has gone, under the stress of his imprisonment. There are the usual close shaves and tense moments, but finally they achieve their end, and return home triumphantly:

    George Manville Fenn

    George Manville Fenn (1831-1909) was an English author, journalist, and educator. Although he is best known for his boy’s adventure stories, Fenn authored over 175 books in his lifetime, including his very popular historical naval fiction for adult readers. Fenn wrote a number of weekly newspaper columns, and subsequently became the publisher of various magazines, many which became a platform for his social and economic views of Victorian England.
