The engaging and fascinating autobiography of Meta Orton, edited and proof-read by herself, recounting her life from her humble origins: born in Pietermaritzburg of an English father and Scottish mother, to her worldwide travels. After the death of her parents and having inherited the family fortune, she embarked on her travels of the world, to such places as Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Middle East, Europe, Russia, South America, and the Antarctic.
