My grandparents went to East Africa in the 1920s. My grandfather, a Scotsman, was looking for gold, my grandmother, a South African was looking for romance. My mother was born in the year this book opens.

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Having watched the DVDs of The Flame Trees of Thika several times, I was delighted to see the reissue of Elspeth Huxley's book of the same title. This is a unique case of both the book and the movie being about equal. Knowing the story from the movie in no way detracts from reading the book.... more info

I read this book as a supplemental material to an undergraduate course in African Politics.

I did volunteer work at Kuki's Ol Ari Nyrio in 11/07 and it was the most amazing experience of my life.

from Princeton University Press
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
The book is very comprehensive. Unfortunately, even though it claims to be a field guide, it is too heavy to carry around. It is not a book to take with you on a bird walk.
