The Zanzibar Chest by Aidan Hartley

I love this book. Despite having a busy week, I rushed through it in less than a week. My only complaint is that the author attempted to do too much. The stories of his life and that of his father's friend Davey are just too different to jell well in this book. And his love affair with Lizzie seems totally out of place.
