| Summary, etc. | "In Search of the Okapi" by Ernest Glanville is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two young friends, Dick Compton and Venning, who embark on a journey to Central Africa to explore the uncharted forests in search of the elusive okapi, a creature that is part giraffe and part zebra. Their quest is further complicated by Compton's personal mission to uncover the fate of his father, who vanished in the same wilderness, and the involvement of a seasoned hunter, Mr. Hume, who becomes their guide and mentor. The opening of the novel introduces Dick and Venning as they engage in a spirited conversation about their ambitions and curiosities, highlighting their contrasting interests in naturalism and exploration. Dick's knowledge of Arabic hints at his father's mysterious past, while Venning's fascination with insects reveals his enthusiasm for the natural world. As they agree to join Mr. Hume’s expedition into the heart of Africa, they begin preparations, showcasing their excitement and naivete about the challenges ahead. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration filled with potential dangers, new discoveries, and the weight of personal quests, while also touching upon themes of friendship, adventure, and the quest for knowledge amid the uncharted territories of the Dark Continent.
