The Traveling Bookbox Show
An unusual touring exhibition of book-themed shadowboxes.
“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
West with the Night
by Beryl Markham
I loved this autobiography by British-born Kenyan aviator, racehorse-trainer and good old-fashioned adventurer Beryl Markham. Why am I so nostalgic for an Africa long since past, and so at odds with my own domestic tendencies? Because, living and traveling there, one captures fragments, and they transport you - the light, people, the possibility, the warthogs.
