Description

Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857) is the autobiography of Mary Seacole.

Recognized for her pioneering healthcare work for soldiers and citizens around the world, Seacole was also the first Black Briton to publish an autobiographical work.

Although Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands underwent editing by an anonymous person, it is a first-person account of Seacole’s experiences during outbreaks of cholera, malaria, and war. “As I grew into womanhood, I began to indulge that longing to travel which will never leave me while I have health and vigour.

I was never weary of tracing upon an old map the route to England; and never followed with my gaze the stately ships homeward bound without longing to be in them, and see the blue hills of Jamaica fade into the distance.” Adventurous and energetic, empathetic and kind, Mary Seacole was a pioneering traveler and healer who saved countless lives and cared for the sick and dying on both sides of the Atlantic.

From her early work with cholera and malaria patients in the Caribbean to her famous British Hotel, opened on the outskirts of Sevastopol during the Crimean War, Seacole served the suffering without regard for her own health or finances.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mary Seacole’s Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
