Huxley Elspeth
The Flame Trees of Thika: Memories of an African Childhood
New York: Weidenfeld & Nicholson 1987. First Illustrated Edition stated. First printing stated. Hardcover. Very good in fair dust jacket. DJ has some wear tears and soiling. Pelizzoli Francesca. First edition. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. 287 1 p. Illustrations some in color. From Wikipedia: "Elspeth Joscelin Huxley CBE nee Grant; 23 July 1907 10 January 1997 was a polymath writer journalist broadcaster magistrate environmentalist farmer and government advisor. She wrote 30 books; but she is best known for her lyrical books The Flame Trees of Thika and The Mottled Lizard which were based on her experiences growing up in a coffee farm in Colonial Kenya. Her husband Gervas Huxley was a grandson of Thomas Huxley and a cousin of Aldous Huxley. Nellie and Major Josceline Grant Elspeth Grant's parents arrived in Thika in what was then British East Africa in 1912 when she was 5 years old to start a life as coffee farmers and colonial settlers. Flame Trees.explores how unprepared for rustic life the early British settlers really were. Elspeth was educated at a whites only school in Nairobi. She left Africa in 1925 earning a degree in agriculture at Reading University in England and studying at Cornell University in upstate New York. Elspeth returned to Africa periodically becoming the Assistant Press Officer to the Empire Marketing Board in 1929. She married Gervas Huxley the son of the doctor Henry Huxley 1865 1946 in 1931. They had one son Charles who was born in February 1944. She resigned her post in 1932 and traveled widely. During this period she published her first works including Lord Delamere and the making of Kenya a biography of the famous settler. In 1948 The Sorcerer's Apprentice A Journey through Africa was published. She was appointed an independent member of the Advisory Commission for the Review of the Constitution of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland the Monckton Commission. An advocate of colonialism early in life she later called for independence for African countries. In the 1960s she served as a correspondent for the National Review magazine. Huxley's Red Strangers was republished by Penguin Books in 1999 and by Penguin Classics in 2000; Richard Dawkins played an important role in getting the book to be republished and he wrote a preface to the new edition. However as of 2006 Red Strangers was once again out of print. This work describes life among the Kikuyu of Kenya around the time of arrival of the first European settlers. There is a biography by Christine S. Nicholls Elspeth Huxley: A Biography Harper Collins 2002. Huxley was a friend of Joy Adamson the author of Born Free and is mentioned in the biography of Joy and George Adamson entitled The Great Safari. Elspeth Huxley wrote the foreword to Joy's autobiography The Searching Spirit. Huxley died in a nursing home at age 89 on 10 January 1997 at Tetbury in Gloucestershire England." From an on-line posting: "Francesca Pelizzoli is a published author and an illustrator of children's books and young adult books. Some of the published credits of Francesca Pelizzoli include Shota and the Star Quilt Miracle Maker." Plot summary from an on-line posting: "Elspeth and her unconventional parents decide to settle down in Kenya and begin a coffee plantation. This is a time of discovery for Elspeth as she encounters the incredible beauty and cruelty of nature and new friendships with both Africans and British expatriates. A side plot involves the beautiful and bored British Lettice Palmer who enters into an affair with a handsome safari guide. Eventually however the excitement of Elspeth's life is disrupted by the onset of WW I and the changes it brings." Weidenfeld & Nicholson hardcover
