In Ethiopia with a Mule is a book by Irish author Dervla Murphy.[1][2][3] It was first published by John Murray in 1968.[4]
In Ethiopia with a Mule is a story of Murphy's 1966 trek across the highlands of Ethiopia with a pack-mule. Inspired by Prester John and the Queen of Sheba, she walked a thousand miles south from the Red Sea shore to Addis Ababa. Along the way, she visited Aksum, crossed the Simien Mountains, and descended to the ruined palaces of Gondar and Lake Tana.[5][6]
