In 1955, escorted by an armed guard, 22-year-old Thomas Pakenham set out into the Ethiopian mountains, hoping to uncover the origins of the legend related in Samuel Johnson's "Rasselas." This edition of his marvelous account (originally published in 1959) includes additional handsome color photographs from a return visit in 1988.
