Description

Travels In West Africa by Mary H Kingsley

First published in 1897, Travels in West Africa was an immediate success. Mary Kinglsey had intended to return to West Africa as soon as she had seen the work through the press, but found herself drawn into much correspondence with eminent people and her opinions were widely sought. She did return to Africa where she died at the age of 38 in June 1900 after tending the sick during an outbreak of typhoid and dysentery. The book has an introduction written by Elspeth Huxley.
