About This Item
Houghton Mifflin, 1967. Hardcover. Like New/Very Good . Wonderfully illustrated by Victor Ambrose. This book captures the magic of Africa as no one has done since Isak Dinesen. It can be read on three levels: for the color and pageantry of wildlife, for an understanding of the importance of preserving it, and for the mystic answer wildlife holds for our overburdened civilization. Evelyn Ames (1908-1990) was a poet and prose writer who focused on wildlife and the environment. A Glimpse of Eden, recounting a safari in East Africa, joined a poet's urge to describe her experience in beautiful and even fanciful terms, and a thinker's urge to generalize about it, according to a 1967 review in The New York Times. Ames was educated at Milton Academy and Vassar College, and was vice president of The Women Poets, director of the African Wildlife Foundation, and trustee of the Environmental Defense Fund as well as Milton Academy.
