I have reservations about Ms. Markham being the true author of this book, as it's quite literary and full of metaphor and similie. It reads entirely too 'clean' to be written by someone other than a professional writer. I suspect this is the handiwork of her third husband.
As for the stories, they are entertaining, engrossing, and amazing. The stories, in particular, about her ferocious dog, Buller, had me laughing out loud. Her love for Africa truly shows itself in the pages of these books.
The pictures in this illustrated version serve to give more depth to an already very-real story of a woman's courageous life from living with the Masawai people to her solo, plane-flight journey from England to Nova Scotia.
