About This Item
Philadelphia:: Dorrance & Company,, (1960). Hardcover first edition -. Very good in very good dust jacket (prev owner's name, some overall edgewear to dj) Laid in is a newspaper article about the author. . First printing. A memoir written by a woman who was almost 80 at the time - a task undertaken, as she notes in the foreword, only because a sprained ankle kept her from her usual activities. While much of it deals with her childhood growing up in Philadelphia (including sheep and other livestock driven thru the streets to the slaughterhouse in the very early hours of the morning), her life remained adventurous and full. On a leisure trip to Africa in 1953, there was a shipwreck off the coast of South Africa; and was involved in a plane crash on a trip to Kashmir. The final trip mentioned in this book was in 1959 to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Cairo, Sydney in Australia and more. Illustrated with photographs. x, 136 pp
