The continuation of the journey on horseback through the west Ireland described in Connemara Mollie. With her replacement pony, Peggy, the author travels from the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, south down the coast of Co. Cork, before turning inland through Counties Waterford, Tipperary & Limerick. As with its predecessor, the story is both a portrait of Ireland & its inhabitants in 1984, & the growing bond between the author & her pony. Both needed to confront their fears: Peggy was used to pulling a cart & hated going cross country, while Hilary`s confidence was shattered by her experience in the mountains of Kerry with Mollie. But all ends well. ” When she felt soft turf beneath her hooves instead of tarmac Peggy stopped dead in astonishment. Oh brave new world! Without her accustomed blinkers she could see mountains & sky
- except that if she wanted to look at something above her she tilted her head sideways to peep under the imaginary blinkers while keeping her neck resolutely horizontal. It was very endearing & made me laugh out loud.”

This seminal volume on the indigenous African Dinka group is a landmark documentation of a vanishing people in war-torn Sudan. World-renowned photographers Angela Fisher & Carol Beckwith have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly disappearing ceremonies & cultures of the indigenous people of Africa. In breathtakingly poignant images, they present a story that started with their first visit to the Dinka thirty years ago. Living in harmony with their cattle, the Dinka have survived years of war only to find their culture on the brink of vanishing forever. Where the White Nile River reaches Dinka country, it spills over 11, 000 square miles of flood plain to form the Sudd, the largest swamp in the world. In the dry season, it provides abundant pasture for cattle, & this is where the Dinka set up their camps. The men dust their bodies & faces with gray ash--protection against flies & lethal malarial mosquitoes, but also considered a mark of beauty. Covered with this ash & up to 7` 6” tall, the Dinka were referred to as ”gentle” or ”ghostly” giants by the early explorers. The Dinka call themselves ”jieng” & ”mony-jang, ” which means ”men of men.” ...
