Child of the Jungle


Child of the Jungle

Sabine Kuegler



This is the autobiography of a European woman who spent her childhood in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Her parents were linguists/missionaries and her playmates were the children of one of the most remote tribes in the world.

Her eventual re-adjustment to Western society proved quite difficult for her.

I found this book so readable and so incredibly fascinating that I finished it in less than 24 hours.

the author's childhood was both idyllic and full of painful lessons at the same time. One thing for sure; it was an endless adventure.

I know that I say I love a lot of books, and I do. Add one more to the list of books I love!
