Beryl Markham was a Kenyan aviator born in England (one of the first bush pilots), adventurer, racehorse trainer and author. She was the first person to fly solo, non-stop across the Atlantic from Britain to North America. She wrote about her adventures in her memoir, West with the Night.

These eight stories share many of the themes and interests found in West with the Night—Ms. Markham’s lifelong fascination with horses, her experiences as a pilot, and her deep love for Africa.
