Title: Give me the world
Description: "Leila Hadley, twenty-five years old, divorced, restless and bored with her successful New York career, sets off for the Far East with her six-year-old son, Kippy, for an adventure that would last a lifetime. To Manila and Hong Kong, Siam and Singapore, India and Damascus, and on around the world on a sailboat named California. Considered a classic among travel memoirs, Give Me the World is part commentary on the beauty and culture of the Far East, and part exploration of the human spirit.

Told with a remarkable sense of emotion and observation, this is a moving and evocative record of a mother and son's voyage, and a breathless portrait of what meets the eye, heart, and soul of the traveler."--BOOK JACKET.
