At home in San Francisco, between research trips to Africa, renowned primatologist Suzanne Albrecht finds herself suffering from an unexplained fever. Dr. Tony Miller, one of the sharpest diagnosticians in San Francisco, is determined to uncover the cause. But Suzanne doesn't have time for hospitals and multitudes of tests; she's scheduled to return to Africa to continue her research on the bonobos, a species of pygmy chimpanzees. Still concerned about her medical condition, she persuades the single handsome doctor to accompany her on her trip abroad. Tony accepts the invitation, but once in Africa, he soon finds himself facing perils he hadn't imagined. Not only do Tony and Suzanne become embroiled in a tense political situation that almost costs them their lives, but Suzanne's condition continues to worsen. Tony must solve the riddle of Suzanne's mysterious illness while confronting his true feelings about Suzanne, who is an enigma herself.

"Legends That Every Child Should Know," edited by Hamilton Wright Mabie, is a curated anthology of legendary tales from various cultures, designed to captivate young readers. The book opens with an introduction that explores the etymology and historical significance of the term "legend," tracing its roots to the Latin verb "legere," meaning "to read." Mabie explains how legends, originally religious narratives about saints, evolved into stories with historical or imaginative elements, often passed down orally before being documented. The anthology includes a diverse selection of stories, each offering a glimpse into the cultural and moral values of different societies. The first chapter, "Wigwam Legend of Hiawatha," recounts the tale of Hiawatha, a wise and powerful figure who unites tribes to face a common enemy, ultimately ascending to a spiritual realm. The second chapter, "Beowulf," presents the epic saga of the titular hero who battles the monstrous Grendel and his vengeful mother, showcasing themes of bravery and honor. The third chapter, "Childe Horn," follows the adventures of a young prince named Horn, who, after being cast adrift by invaders, grows into a valiant knight determined to reclaim his rightful place and win the love of Princess Riminild. Each story in the collection is chosen for its ability to engage young minds with its narrative richness and moral lessons, making it a valuable resource for both entertainment and education.
