PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Born Princess Salme in the Sultan's court on Zanzibar, the author wrote this book in the 1800s as a tribute to the island for her children. It is rich in details of a long-lost way of life, recalling the time when the sultans reigned on Zanzibar. In the last chapter she tells of her visit home after 19 years in Germany. Originally published in 1907.
