Huxley, Elspeth
Red Strangers: A Novel
London: Chatto & Windus 1939. Book. Fair. Hardcover. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. NB: No dustjacket. Ochre yellow cloth with title in gilt on spine. Condition: Fair covers are generally shelfworn with sunning to spine. Some bumping to lower outer cover corners. Foxing throughout particularly to the first and last few pages. Binding sound. The name Huxley is written on the front endpaper in pencil. 406pp. 16 pages of sepia photographic plates. The book is a novel about life among the Kikuyu and the Masai and the effect of the coming of the white man on their traditional societies. Loosely inserted with the book are two handwritten letters to Elspeth Huxley 1907-1997 from the British paleoanthropologist and archaeologist Louis Leakey 1903-1972. The first letter is dated July 4 1939 and initially Louis Leakey mentions a few corrections that could be made to the facts in the text of Red Strangers. He then goes on to request her help in finding financial supporters for a weekly Kikuyu newspaper that he is thinking of starting. The second letter is undated and may have been enclosed with the first letter as it consists mainly of the detailed corrections that he would like made to the text of Red Strangers assuming that it goes to a second edition. The corrections include details of various tribal initiation rites. Both letters are addressed to "Elspeth" and signed Louis Leakey. Both letters are written in ink on one side only. The first letter is 4 pages long and the second 6 pages. Chatto & Windus Hardcover

The Mottled Lizard
London: Chatto & Windus 1962 From the dust jacket: In The Flame Trees of Thika Elspeth Huxley described her early childhood in Kenya where her parents went as pioneer farm ers. Now in The Mottled Lizard she carries on the story when the family return to Kenya after the First World War. She re creates in vivid detail their home their native servants their European friends their ponies travels shooting expeditions and above all the wonderful wild life of the country with its forests bushveld and open spaces; its beasts birds and reptiles. The relationships of the girl with her forceful mother her gentle ineffective father and the young man Alan who is her hero are delicately handled. Nature 'provides unforgettable backgrounds and episodes - a big waterbuck by the pool at dawn an elephant family playing in the river the splendour of the African sunset the escapades of Rupert the de lightful pet but not tame cheetah. At the end when the girl leaves Kenya to return to Europe the reader shares her regret for the loss of this wild exciting country that has vanished now for ever and whose magic is preserved in pages written with insight wit and love. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 335 pages ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
