Huxley (Elspeth), Curtis (Arnold). Pioneers Scrapbook: Reminiscences Of Kenya 1890 To 1968.
London: Evans Brothers Limited, 1980. First Edition.
Settler reminiscences of successes and failures in establishing homes, farms, shops, hotels, businesses and factories, including humorous and dangerous incidents, descriptions of scenery and lifestyles make up a fascinating kaleidoscope.
"These reminisences are illustrated with many as yet unpublished early photographs of Kenya, and by colour reproductions of paintings, and tapestries worked by members of the League, tapestries depicting typical historical scenes from the regions described in this book. This patchwork of narration and illustration recreates the vivid human and physical landscape of Kenya as seen by the pioneers."
160pp., map, colour as well as b+w photos and linedrawings.
