<div id="syndetics_summary">In an open cart Elspeth Huxley set off with her parents to
travel to Thika in Kenya. As pioneering settlers, they built a
house of grass, ate off a damask doth spread over packing cases,
and discovered -- the hard way -- the world of the African. With an
extraordinary gift for detail and a keen sense of humor, Huxley
recalls her childhood on the smart farm at a time when Europeans
waged their fortunes on a land that was as harsh as it was
beautiful. For a young girl it was a time of adventure and freedom,
and Huxley paints an unforgettable portrait of growing up among the
Masai and Kikuyu people, discovering both the beauty and the
terrors of the jungle, and enduring the rugged realities of the
pioneer life.
