Review by customer and safari specialist, Tania Perkins:
"6 year old Elspeth’s Huxley’s parents have set off for the new world in Kenya and taken her along for the ride. This book is set in a time when Kenya was starting to become what it is today, and her child-like perspective of their difficult lives there are engaging and entertaining all at once"
