This is the remarkable and highly entertaining story of a young English woman who made a two-year expedition through the highlands and jungles, and along the rivers, of Papua New Guinea - alone. 1, 000 miles of this journey was undertaken on a stallion called "Horse." Christina had many adventures and hair-raising moments, yet this courageous woman makes light of all of them. Christina continues the tradition of such renowned travellers as Gertrude Bell, Isabella Bird and Ella Maillart.
