Introduced by Lois Pryce, author of Lois on the Loose, Red Tape & White
Knuckles and Revolutionary Ride.
In 1959 Barbara Toy, famous for her solo overland travels in North Africa and
Arabia, set out in her trademark Land Rover to drive from Libya to Ethiopia.
Alone, she crossed the Sahara Desert and the equatorial forests of the Congo
before ascending the highlands of Haile Selassie's empire. Her Ethiopian
travels took her from modern Addis Ababa to the ancient ruins of Aksum,
through bandit-ridden countryside to the summit of Mount Wehni - where male
heirs to the emperor were traditionally imprisoned for life - on a quest to
explore the legend of the Queen of Sheba. Full of good humour and grit, In
Search of Sheba chronicles a remarkable feat of endurance and adventure by one
of the twentieth century's greatest travellers.
