  • Les Limiers de Bafut (titre : The Bafut Beagles), du naturaliste britannique Gerald Durrell, raconte l'histoire de l'expédition que Durrell a menée en 1949 au Cameroun britannique pour collecter des animaux pour les zoos, avec Kenneth Smith. Publié en 1954, c'était le troisième livre de Durrell destiné à un public populaire. Sa description d'un souverain autochtone, le , particulièrement remarquable, s'est avérée si populaire que Durrell lui a rendu visite à nouveau dans Un zoo dans mes bagages. Le livre dépeint le Fon principalement de manière humoristique, en évoquant sa polygamie, son point de vue anglophile et sa grande tolérance à l'alcool, mais aussi de manière plus flatteuse. Le Fon a offert à Durrell la tenue de cérémonie et le personnel lors de sa deuxième expédition. Le Fon, bien que non nommé, était Achirimbi II. (fr)
  • The Bafut Beagles by British naturalist Gerald Durrell tells the story of Durrell's 1949 expedition to the Cameroons collecting animals for zoos, made with Kenneth Smith. Published in 1954, it was Durrell's third book for popular audiences. Particularly notable was his depiction of a native ruler, the Fon of Bafut, who proved so popular that Durrell visited him again in A Zoo in My Luggage. The book portray the Fon mostly in a humorous fashion, discussing his polygamy, anglophile perspective, and high tolerance for alcohol, but also in more flattering ways. The Fon awarded Durrell the ceremonial dress and staff during his second expedition. The Fon, although not named, was Achirimbi II. (en)
