Prize presentation plate on front free endpaper, indicating the volume was once awarded to Sally Wood by Maybridge Evangelical Free Church, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original, price-clipped dust jacket (jacket a little bumped and rubbed edges, tiny chipping at spine ends). In the history of colonial Africa, Mary Slessor occupies an important place. A Scottish lassie who went to the West Coast of Africa, climbed trees like a boy and ran races with friends, she had an impact on the local society through her evangelicalism.
