Flying Against the Wind: A Story about Beryl Markham
(4)
4-6
Carolrhoda Creative Minds Book series.
In readable if not riveting prose, Bowen discusses Markham's unconventional childhood in Africa, her work as a horse trainer, and her triumphs as a pioneering pilot. The text does give readers a sense of Markham's character, emphasizing her determination and courage, as well as her need for excitement and change. Black-and-white illustrations accompany this adequate biography. Bib., ind.
