tennantfamily (United Kingdom) (2009/03/18): It comes to few of us to lead a life so varied, so strenuous, so exciting as this author. Africa and Europe, war and peace, the desert and the sown, thought and action, all have their share in these reminiscences. Sights and sounds of Africa, Sicily - these are just a couple of threads in the multicoloured pattern of an amazingly varied life.
