Review
'A classic account of one man's struggle to test himself against Nature' - Daily Telegraph. 'Sandham is a likeable and self-deprecating narrator, and I found myself increasingly gripped' - The Observer. 'Real old school adventure... Great stuff'- Adventure Travel. 'Sandham proves to be genial company, approaching the trials of the open road with self-deprecating humour... Above all, it is his enthusiasm for adventure and the variety of human life that makes Traversa so memorable' - New Statesman. 'I REALLY enjoyed this book. It had me laughing out loud' - Emma Gregg, Travel Africa Magazine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A fascinating account of the hardships and hilarity Fran Sandham experienced during his epic solo journey on foot across Africa, from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean through Namibia, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania. Inspired by the legendary crossings of the great explorers, Sandham left the daily grind of London to undertake an extraordinary adventure. Traversadescribes his brushes with danger in the form of lions and snakes, land mines and bandits, his 2-month battle with a syphilitic donkey, malaria and the everyday troubles that arise when walking across Africa. Underpinned with stories of the great explorers themselves - Livingstone, Stanley and Galton among others - Traversa is written proof of Sandham's grit, determination and sheer obsession with Africa. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001269312
