Read this so I could convince my young nephew that it is worth reading. I don't know much about the subject, so I can't speak to the accuracy of the text. But I can say that this is one of the few missionary biographies that is readable for elementary kids. Chronicles the life of Livingstone with emphasis on his work in Africa. Pen and ink illustrations every other page. Recommend having a map of Africa handy to better visualize Livingstone's travels. ( )
