Here is a very uncommon first edition from 1874. MY KALULU, PRINCE, KING AND SLAVE: A Story of Central Africa by Henry Morton Stanley You won't find a nicer copy for sale anywhere else. On Henry Stanley's journey to find David Livingstone, Stanley was given a young black boy, whom Stanley renamed Kalulu, which is Swahili for "rabbit." After Stanley found Livingstone ("Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"), Stanley took Kalulu with him to England and spent 6 weeks writing HOW I FOUND LIVINGSTONE (1872), which was very popular with the public, which was enamored with Livingstone and Livingstone's trials and tribulations. MY KALULU was Stanley's first work of fiction. It was written for Boys. Stanley went on to become even more famous as an explorer in Africa. In 1874, the New York Herald and the Daily Telegraph financed Stanley on another expedition to Africa. His ambitious objective was to complete the exploration and mapping of the Central African Great Lakes and rivers, in the process circumnavigating Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika and locating the source of the Nile. Kalulu drowned while on this expedition with Stanley, who wrote his account of the expedition in THROUGH THE AFRICAN CONTINENT (1878). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalulu
