Product Description

Product Description
Ffyona Campbell was on the last leg of her record-breaking round the world walk when On Foot Through Africa was published. In The Whole Story, she gives a complete account of her remarkable achievement. This book also contains an astonishing revelation which will prove that Ffyona Campbell is not only an intrepid adventuress but a very brave woman prepared to face up to a final challenge which has haunted her almost since the beginning of her walk around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Throw away your self help books, 19 Aug 2003
For anyone wanting to grow mentally or spiritually, then a read of this book will move you further along the way than any self help book.

Writing of her experiences and how she felt about the people she met is, to me, more helpful than being told what to do. I know that this book is more of an adventure book, I just feel that in sharing Ffyona's journey (and not just the physical one) we can gain our own insights into life.

Ffyona Campbell is a great heroine of mine, and I have the greatest respect for her throughout this book, especially when she admits past deceits and mistakes. A worthy book, written by a very worthy woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars They don't come much braver, 10 Sep 1999
By A Customer
A chance view of a BBC TV programme led me to read this book ages ago (have lost copy so now reordering). Ffyona's courage in the face of enormous logistical, human and political obstacles makes some of our other explorers look very tame indeed. Some of the writing reveals immaturity - but that was acknowledged by the writer herself in "The Whole Story". Her books are all worth reading by anyone who is currently in a jam with their own lives - makes you want to get up and get sorted immediately. PS this is not a travel book but an adventure book.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best travel(?) book ever, 3 May 2000
By A Customer
I oved this book, it was really interesting and moving and really gave you an idea of quite what drove Ffyona Campbell to walk around the world, and what drove her to carry on. It also gives very clever ideas and views on the meddlesome nature of the West in lands which, for all our patronizing intentions, do not need (nor want) the quick-fix solutions to the problems we see there. I've read it five times and each time is as good as the last

I read her book last year in July. I was at Loisaba Lodge, Laikipia, Kenya on a safari holiday. For two days it rained cats and dog, so I raided their library. Read more
