The Bite of Benin is a historical book written by Robert Simpson in 1919. The book is an account of the author's personal experiences in Benin, a coastal region in West Africa. The book is a memoir of the author's journey through the region, where he describes the people, the culture, and the environment. The book takes its name from the treacherous waters of the Benin coast, which are known for their dangerous currents and unpredictable weather. The author describes how many ships have been lost in these waters and how few people have survived the treacherous journey.

The author also discusses the slave trade, which was a significant part of Benin's history.
