In Ethiopia with a Mule

Dervla Murphy set out with her pack-mule, Jock, on a hazardous trek through Ethiopia's remote and hostile regions. She encountered rough terrain, exhaustion, illness and the disorder of the Ethiopians' domestic affairs -- all of which she conquered with endurance and good humour. Despite being robbed three times, a close and warm understanding grew between her and the highlanders, and on reaching Addis Ababa she concluded that affection for Ethiopia's peoples was the richest reward of her journey.
