Dust wrapper is also equally well preserved, bright without tears, etc and is not price clipped. Now under mylar wraps. Harvey Kidder, cover illustrator. "Mrs. Huxley's natural descriptions, her accounts of the wild life and of the hunting, are entrancing, as is her analysis of the personality of the Kikiyu, the natives who were the family servants. One reviewer has remarked what a joy it is to read of someone who actually enjoyed her childhood. From this book one can understand why so many white sellers want to stay in Africa in spite of present difficulties."
