Good condition. "Lady Packer finds people even more fascinating than places, and, whether she is writing of Helen Keller of Sobhuza II, Paramount Chief of the Swazis, and his tribal mother, Indlovukati, the She-Elephant, or of the Emir of Katsina and his small grandson, or of Sally the Seal, beloved of the sailors and children of Simon's Town, we find the same warm human touch which has endeared her to so many. . . . Woven into her pattern of Africa, with its 'gold, and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks', are the glowing threads of past history and history in the making, of comedy and drama, and, here and there, pathos, and a great deal of plain common sense about the racial problems of her own country."
