THE AFRICAN QUEEN is C.S Forester's sublime story of how Rose Sayer, a straitlaced missionary and Charlie Allnut, a gin-swilling riverboat owner, sail down a dangerous African river in a rusty old tub, The African Queen and outwit the Germans is a classic tale of derring-do. Made into a Hollywood movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, it remains one of the most popular films ever made.
