Nine Faces of Kenya - Elspeth Huxley

Nine Faces of Kenya by Elspeth Huxley is a marvellous anthology that gives a fully rounded portrait of one of the most fascinating countries in the world. In nine sections focusing on exploration, travel, settlement, war, hunting, wildlife, environment, life-styles, and legend and poetry, using only first-hand accounts, she guides the reader through the story of Kenya from AD100 to the present with her characteristic candour and directness.
