Book synopsis

This intrepid Englishwoman rode from the Pacific port of Ampala, over the mountains of Honduras to the Atlantic. "I do not fear hardship," she told the people of Honduras, "as I am the daughter of an English soldier and circumstances have compelled me to depend on myself." The Long Rider haggled over saddles, hired mules, deflated bullies and outwitted nefarious guides - all in excellent Spanish. This is gem of a book contains an entertaining account of the author's vivid, day-to-day life in the saddle. Her colourful writing brings the "lost" civilization of Spanish Honduras back to life more than a century later.
