Description:
No dust jacket. A rather famous account of the author's time in East Africa. The author has a definitely colonial attitude as might be expected in the 1930s. The book has some wear along the top and bottom edges. The green fabric does not look faded, and the spine is solid. The deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and intact, with many black and white photographs. Originally published in 1941. This appears to be a rare book.
