Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7? -9? " tall; Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Lower corner tip of book, cover and pages, are wrinklrf, otherwise clean, unmarked, gently used book. Eight stories evocative of the forces that ruled Beryl Markham's heart--a moving depiction of a rogue horse--an advenurous flight over the African wilds in search of a lover whose plane had crashed-an exciting episode of a pony helping her survive the charge of a wild buffalo--and others. Born in England in 1902, Beryl Markham was taken by her father to East Africa in 1906--and there began her lifelong love of Africa. Trainer and breeder of race horses, mail and passenger carrier in her small plane to remote areas of the Sudan, Tanganyika, Kenya and Rhodesia, she led an adventurous life. In 1936 she became the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean from east to west, from England to Nova Scotia. Her life was molded by many things--the African jungle, feelings for dogs, for horses, for planes, for friendships with white men and black. 139 pages. 8" x 5.25". 1988, Laurel Trade Paperbacks/Dell Publishing, New York.
