I enjoyed reading this book. I don't think I've ever read it before, although I have come across film versions.
What sticks out for me is the casual attitude to hunting. They're off to find a lost brother and fabulous treasure, yet on the way they take the opportunity to kill most of a herd of elephants for the ivory, and no-one even wonders whether they should take the time out to do it.
Of course, this was long before conservation became a necessity.
