Safari By Jet Through Africa and Asia by Sister Maria del Rey of Maryknoll. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, NY, 1962. 1st Edition. Hardbound, Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in Chipped DJ. 308 Pgs. LCCN 62-17726. Illustrated with maps and photographs. In this book the author is our guide on a grand tour across the world. Always her description is full of humor and anecdote, and she never tires the reader with statistics or guidebook information. She can make us sense the mood of a whole country, be it the excitement of a nation on the eve of independence or the sorrowful aftermath of a country struggling up from a recent war, through the individual life histories of the men, women and children she lets us meet and through the varied experiences of the Maryknollers teaching and healing where the need is greatest. We share the author's joy wherever she finds evidence of solid progress. Description text copyright 2007 BooksForComfort. Item ID 13162.
