Mary Slessor grew up in a drunkard’s home in Scotland, worked as a mill girl and went to Calabar in present-day Nigeria as a missionary. This life for young readers follows her into the jungle as nurse, teacher and peacemaker, her struggles against witchcraft and the poison ordeal, and her long years in the villages of the interior.
A missionary biography for children; its picture of Africans as a dark, heathen people is that of the mission literature of its day. Download the free EPUB.
