This Rich and Wondrous Earth, by Mrs. Linda Burklin, is an
excellent and well-written book telling about her childhood growing up in
central Africa at a boarding school for missionary children. Mrs. Burklin clearly and in a manner easy to
read tells about her adventures and education there. She conveys her ideas and experiences
clearly. This book is very enthralling! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and especially
her account of their half-term amusements. During their time at the river, they
would select shady areas to build “half-term houses” in, because at half-term
they were allowed to spend the Rest Hour in those “houses” with the others who
helped build it. Groups of girls would select a spot and build the half-term
house together. Much time was passed by discussing what to furnish the house
with!
I really suggest that you read this book.
