A Continent Found is an account of nearly a quarter-century spent in a continent, which was not the original home of the author, but became so in the course of time. The book is a kind of memoirs, but also pays tribute to the customs and traditions of the land of Africa, and also its rich wildlife and beautiful seacoasts. It is a nostalgic account of the best years, and a way of life. It dwells mainly on two countries of Africa, where the author spent most of her 23 years in the continent. Some neighboring countries are briefly touched upon during the descriptions. The intention or the aim of the author in writing this book is to promote visits to the land she loved, and to clear misunderstandings about it in the minds of people.
