by the Duke of Pirajno abridged in ten episodes by Jane Mays

The Duke of Pirajno first landed in Africa in 1924. Italy was a colonial power and the young duke had been posted as a medical officer to a camp in Libya. His patients included a man with an unshakeable belief that a snake was lying curled up in the pit of his stomach.
