In 1959, Barbara Toy, a renowned solo overland traveler known for her expeditions in North Africa and Arabia, embarked on a remarkable journey. She drove her trademark Land Rover from Libya to Ethiopia, traversing the vast Sahara Desert and the equatorial forests of the Congo. Accompanied by her trusty vehicle, she ventured alone through the rugged terrain, encountering bandits and exploring the ancient ruins of Aksum. Her Ethiopian travels took her from modern Addis Ababa to the ancient ruins of Aksum, a journey that spanned through bandit-ridden countryside and culminated at the summit of Mount Wehni, a historic site where male heirs to the emperor were traditionally imprisoned for life. Driven by her curiosity and determination, In Search of Sheba chronicles Barbara Toy's awe-inspiring feat of endurance and adventure, showcasing her as one of the twentieth century's most remarkable travelers.
