Patricia St John was missionary; she was a nurse; she based her children's books on places where she lived or visited; her parents were missionaries.. Irene Howat does a wonderful job of making Miss St John come to life on the pages. A recommendation on the back of the book is for ages 7-9 (read to me) and 9-14 (read myself), but I would think it's a great book to give to anyone of any age.
