First published in 1942, this is an episodic account of some 30 Africa years, from childhood to 1936, in the life of an amazing woman.
Her adventures and courageous career as a bush pilot are recounted in vivid detail here, along with the richness and fascination of life in Kenya in the 1920s and 30s.
