As the Fates would have it, a Dutch journalist materialises one day who has just traversed the Sahara in a southerly direction, alone, with a motor-cycle with sidecar. Travel of the kind envisaged was quite unusual at the time, something definitely unorthodox compared to the ways of the British colonials. The story proceeds stage by stage, involving the reader in the catastrophes, the moments of hilarity, the fatigue and despair, and the prevailing satisfaction for the author of achieving her aim against all the odds."; an almost perfect copy apart from a couple of minor blemishes to the bottom of the price-intact D/J. at the rear; 181 pages.
