"Beryl Markham was born Beryl Clutterbuck in 1902 in Rutland.  In 1906 her father, an ex-army man, left England for British East Africa and took her with him.  She grew up witnessing her father's patience and labour as he transformed a stretch of wilderness into a working farm.  She spent her days playing with her Nandi friends and hunting with the Nandi Murani."
