Description
Beryl Markham's autobiography is a vivid account of her life in Africa, from her childhood surrounded by the tribal people to her adventures as a horse trainer and bush pilot.
Markham's story is one of passion and courage, as she recounts her tangles with the wild animals of Africa and her triumphs in the world of horse racing and aviation.
With a richness and fascination that brings to life the Kenya of the twenties and thirties, this book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the lives of pioneering women and the thrill of adventure.
