Description
Patricia was a young hippo that lived on the banks of Lake Victoria, near the source of the Nile at the town of Jinja, shortly after the Second World War. But our heroine wasn't any ordinary hippo. She could understand what humans say and she could read. She was also bright purple!
After a meeting with the mystical 'Lake Spirit,' Patricia was told she had been chosen to bring harmony between the animals that lived in the region and the humans that sought to rebuild the local economy, greatly affecting the local habitat. The stories are about growing up, being different and being brave. Life can be deadly, but also full of love, even if there is much misunderstanding between the animals and the humans. It might just take a purple hippo like Patricia to restore the balance, as the machines of man re-mould the old world of the 'Lake Spirit'.
Here, in the first story, Patricia finds an object that is not only old but has magical qualities. It just might help her rescue her monkey friend, Humphrey, from the soldiers who have captured him. What would you do? What would a hippo do?
'The Mask' is book 1 in a series of 10 'Adventures of Patricia the Hippo at the Source of the Nile'.
