Paul Hamilton Hume White (1910 - 1992) was an Australian missionary, evangelist, radio program host and author. His books are based in Africa and depict African folklore and missionary adventure. Many of White's stories include moral teaching.

They tell of surgical operations in the wild using the most basic equipment and the people of Africa, including his friend Daudi (David) Matama, and quite often striking against the village witchdoctors who relied on black magic to gain power.

Although the stories are fiction, they are based on fact, based on White's own, as well as other people's experiences.
