‎On the Edge of the Rift: Memories of Kenya.‎

‎New York: William Morrow and Company 1962. First American edition of one of Huxley's best known works. Octavo original half cloth.

'Standing with reluctant feet where the brook and river meet womanhood and childhood fleet!' - Longfellow. Elspeth Huxley." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Harvey Kidder. A unique example. Nellie and Major Josceline Grant arrived in Thika in what was then British East Africa in 1912 where they became colonial settlers and established a coffee plantation. Their daughter Elspeth had quite an unconventional childhood which she later wrote about in her best known work The Flame Trees of Thika 1959 which examined how unprepared for rustic life the early British settlers really were. On the Edge of the Rift continues the story when the family returns to Kenya after the first world war. Huxley recreates in vivid detail their home native servants hunting expeditions and travels throughout the country. William Morrow and Company hardcover‎

‎Huxley Elspeth‎

‎On the Edge of the Rift: Memories of Kenya.‎

‎New York: William Morow and Company 1962. 409 Pages. Light blue boards with gray quarter-spine and black lettering. One corner very lightly bumped. Owner's name on front endpaper. No other marks or stamps. Brodart dust jacket protection. Here is a re-creation of an Africa that no longer exists and a life that for all its struggles and sorrows seems idyllic in retrospect. These are the years of Elspeth Huxley�s growing up. She is twelve when she returns to Thika with her parents after the First World War; sixteen when her family leaves Thika which is becoming relatively suburbanized and strikes out for the splendid still untamed wilderness of Njoro in the Valley of the Rift. Mrs. Huxley's memory of those years of people landscapes incidents is as fresh and unblurred as her recaptured sense of enchantment. Here is a life lived close to a land that is beautiful beyond belief and the people one meets in these pages are as varied as the African landscape. There are the unforgettable Tilly Mrs. Huxley's mother a woman of rare charm wit and insouciance; the colorful and rather eccentric cew of friends and neighbors; the Kikuyus with ther odd sense of logic. And through it all there is a very strong sense of the narrator herself a young girl growing up with a freedom few young people ever have --- a freedom to roam through a magnificent wilderness and be close to what she sees around her. The rift of the title is threefold in meaning: first the Rift Valley where Elspeth and her family lived; second the right between childhood and maturity; and finally the rift between the Africa in which the author grew up and the present turbulent Africa. An illumantion of the past this is also a vivid preparation for the here and now. . Book Club Edition. Hard Back. Very Good/Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". William Morow and Company Hardcover‎
