Book Overview
Dervla Murphy set out with her pack-mule, Jock, on a hazardous trek through Ethiopia's remote and hostile regions. Inspired by stories of Prester John and the Queen of Sheba, she hoped to find there beauty, danger, solitude and mystery. Instead she encountered rough terrain, exhaustion, illness and the disorder of the Ethiopians' domestic affairs - all of which she conquered with endurance and good humour.

An exciting story from an intrepid traveller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Dervla Murphy has to be one of the gutsiest travel writers around. Her exploits in this book include slipping down precipitous slopes and dangerously narrow paths dragging an unwilling loaded mule behind her, sleeping in flea and rat infested hovels, being robbed by armed brigands etc etc. Armchair travellers will just love it!
