Having lost his sight many years ago, Eldred Durosimi Jones (emeritus, English language and literature, U. of Sierra Leone-Freetown) recounts his life in Freetown with the help of his wife
Marjorie. The autobiography covers early childhood under the British flag; manhood’s gleam in boyish eyes; in the footsteps of Ajayi Crowther; the gleaming spires of Oxford; home pastures;
America and new found lands; West African travels; all Freetown is a stage; books, words, and causes; and twilight and evening bell. Distributed in the US by Boydell & Brewer. Annotation
