Description
Beryl Markham, born Beryl Clutterbuck in England, spent her life defying all expectations of how a woman should live and what any single person can achieve. Markham and her father moved to Kenya when she was a girl, and she grew up with a zebra for a pet, horses for friends, and baboons, lions, leopards, and gazelles for neighbors. She also became the first person to fly nonstop from Europe to America.
