Source of the River

This collection presents through dramatic monologues the journeys of self-discovery of six historical figures: Danish author Isak Dinesen, who found her creative voice on a farm in Africa; 18th-century explorer Col. John May in the Ohio frontier; one personification of the Hindu Living Goddess; 19th-century British Consul to Zanzibar Atkins Hamerton; and 19th-century British explorers in search of the source of the Nile, Sir Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke.
