Beryl Markham Books in Order

Beryl Markham recalls her childhood in Kenya and an adventurous life among horses, wildlife, and aircraft. Her memoir follows experiences as a racehorse trainer and bush pilot, culminating in her solo east-to-west Atlantic flight and reflecting on the landscapes and people who shaped her.

This collection gathers Markham's African stories, originally published in magazines and introduced by biographer Mary S. Lovell. Horses, flying, romance, and encounters with wildlife run through tales including a rogue horse, a search for a crashed pilot, and a dangerous buffalo charge.

Adapted from Markham's memoir and illustrated by Don Brown, this picture book recounts young Beryl's encounter with a supposedly tame lion on a neighboring farm. Her terrifying experience prompts reflection on wildness, human expectations, and compassion for an animal living outside its natural circumstances.
