The Lady and the Panda: The True Adventures of the First American Explorer to Bring Back China's Most Exotic Animal by Vicki Constantine Croke
3.0
I digested this book by CD's. Lorna Raver's reading makes me think she's wearing long satin gloves, clutching a martini in one hand while gazing upward, fondling her long pearl necklace with the other. Pretty sure she's wearing a genuine mink shawl as well. She pauses simply to take a sip of the martini.
In all seriousness, I'd never heard of Ruth Harkness and I'm most certainly glad I got to peek in on her explorations. I would like to read Harkness's book (of the same name,) however that text has become an out-of-print collectable. Her story is both sad and amazing. I would have liked to have read her manuscript.
