My Kenya Days (Signed copy) by Wilfred Thesiger - 1994

London: HarperCollins, 1994. First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 25 × 17cm, 224pp. Signed directly to the title page by Wilfred Thesiger, also loosely inserted is the flyer from Waterstone's (Cambridge branch) which lists Thesiger giving a talk and signing on 17th May, 1994. Following on from the author's autobiography, "The Life of My Choice", this book provides a record of Thesiger's 30 years in Kenya. Since his first visit to Kenya in 1960, Thesiger has made a series of long journeys on foot with camels to Lake Turkana, Marsabit and other remote areas. Drawn by the lure of what was formerly Kenya's Northern Frontier District, with its varied wildlife and distinctive nomadic tribes, Thesiger spent many years as an Honorary Game Warden leading anti-poaching patrols. He describes Kenya's northern tribes - Rendille warriors dancing by moonlight, Turkana in pursuit of buffalo and an account of Samburu moran during their initiation ceremonies. Condition: The book is in excellent condition with clean pages and secure binding. The dustwrapper is very good but has a touch of fading to the bottom half of the spine and one small dent to the front but otherwise this remains a lovely copy.. Signed by The Author. First Edition. Hardback. Very Good/Very Good.
