First published in 1921, The Man Who Did the Right Thing: A Romance is Sir Harry Johnston's novel of adventure, conscience, and the choices that define a life. Written by one of the most colorful figures of the imperial age - explorer, administrator, naturalist, and storyteller - it offers readers both a stirring tale and a window into the ideas and assumptions of its time. This edition returns the complete, unabridged original text to print, exactly as Johnston wrote it, accompanied by a new introduction and reader's notes that place the novel in its historical context and illuminate its language, themes, and setting for today's audience. Whether you are discovering a neglected classic for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, this carefully prepared volume invites you to read slowly, think deeply, and enjoy a romance of the old school - told with vigor, warmth, and conviction.
