The recipient was the publisher Victor Gollancz. Huxley grew up in colonial Kenya where her parents had moved in 1912 to start a new life as coffee farmers. Educated in Nairobi Huxley was strongly influenced by the country she grew up in. Her first book published shortly after her marriage in 1935 focused on Lord Delamere one of the first settlers in Kenya. She went on to pen almost 40 works one of her most notable being Red Strangers an exploration of Kikuyu life in Kenya. Although initially an advocate of continued colonial rule she later called for the independence of African nations. Forks and Hope is the result of the three months Huxley spent in Tanganyika Kenya and Uganda during the year of 1963 during which time she spoke to political leaders visited new Universities and watched the emergence of a new East Africa feeling its way into a future full of ancient enigmas and new hopes wrapper blurb. Visiting Lake Lagarja the grass plains of the eastern Serengeti the Ngorongoro crater and Kipikieri Peak which stands at over 9000ft she kept journals and notes for the duration of her trip. "Writing about modern Africa is like trying to sketch a galloping horse that is out of sight before you have sharpened your pencil she writes. So much is happening - because the scene sparkles with new hopes and plans because nothing is static and nothing seems impossible. Jonathan Kingdon was born in Tanzania in 1935. A zoologist science author and artist he is currently a research associate at the University of Oxford and for most of his life he has devoted to taxonomic illustration and evolution of the mammals of Africa.
