THESIGER WILFRED — My Kenya Days

Harper Collins, London. 1994, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 000255268X) Hardcover with dust jacket, 25cm. Book, Wilfred Thesiger is one of the 20th Century's greatest travellers and explorers. His books Arabian Sands and The Marsh Arabs have been hailed as classics of modern travel writing. This work, which follows on from his bestselling autobiography, The Life of my Choice, provides a compelling record of Thesiger's thirty years in Kenya. Lavishly illustrated with his own photographs, the book contains superb evocations of Kenya's vanishing tribal heritage, of the dramatic landscapes of Thesiger's journeys and intimately portrays his Samburu companions and surrounds at Maralal where he mad his home. Excellent/Excellent.
