Re: Colonial-era Africa

Kipling's "Just So Stories."

Sir Henry Rider Haggard wrote many fictions located in colonial Africa, including SHE (which might even go in the Egypt column, along with The Egyptian and oh so many others, but particularly King Solomon's Mines. Additionally both of these have movies -- like the Tarzan books.

There's quite a bit of colonial era adventure fiction from that era.

Not to mention Olive Schreiber and Isak Dinesen, plus quite a few post-colonial writers have set detective series in colonial Africa, particularly Kenya.

There is so much fiction about Africa!
