And when these weren't available they hit ched on whatever came along: wagons loaded with cement, copper trucks . . even tractors! There were moments of fear-being arrested in Tanzania and confronted b y armed peasants in Ethiopia. There was the drama of being chased by a wild elep hant, of being delirious with dysentery in the Sudanese deserts and of hiring th eir very own mercenary. But there were also great wonders to experience: the awe -inspiring Victoria Falls, the great herds of wild game on the rolling plains of East Africa and Egypt's magnificent Valley of the Kings. They passed through ar eas which are now highly volatile because of guerilla activity-so dangerous that their trek could be the last of its kind for a considerable time.

Hardcover.     In 1978 Iain Finlay and Trish Sheppard travelled some 40,000 kilometres from Toronto in Canada to Tierra del Fuego at the bottom tip of South America. What makes their journey more unusual than others is that they made it with their two young children, Zara, eleven, and Sean, ten, using only public transport; buses, trains, hitchhiking where necessary, and carrying nothing more than a backpack each. Their story, which follows the same style as their very successful book Africa Overland, tells of a journey full of interesting characters, incidents and meetings. It also takes a brief and often wry look at some of the history, politics and way of life of the countries they visited -- not a historian's, economist's or sociologist's look, but the down-to-earth, personal view of two journalists. 1980. First edition. A very good copy with light rubbing to the spine ends, light browning of the edges and a previous owners name to the front free endpaper. The d/w is good with a short repaired tear to the head of the spine.…

hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
