About the Author:

Mary Kingsley was born in London in 1862. She lived the typical life of a single Victorian woman until 1893, when she embarked on a voyage to West Africa, followed by a second trip the following year. On returning home, she wrote Travels in West Africa, which was published in 1897. Kingsley made one final trip to Africa, enlisting as a volunteer nurse in South Africa during the Boer War. She died there in 1900 and was buried at sea.

Lynnette Turner is Associate Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Edge Hill University.

Toby Green is Lecturer in Lusophone African History and Culture at Kings College London. His book The Rise of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in Western Africa appeared in 2011.

From the Back Cover:
Showing little awareness of the potential dangers she faced, Mary Kinglsey travelled to Africa alone, with no knowledge or experience of the languages and cultures she would encounter. She marched, climbed and hacked her way through the Congo--wearing the same clothes she would at home--treating hardships and dangers, such as being charged at by wild animals, or fired on by angry natives, as trivialities on a par with an April shower during a Sunday afternoon stroll. Bordering on the eccentric, Kinglsey's absorbing and witty account of her journey across the "dark continent" is a fascinating record of previously unexplored terrain, as observed by a truly remarkable woman.
