from North Point Pr
Customer Review:
I am not quite sure how I happened upon this book but i am glad I did. The writing is a beautiful portrait of Kenya in the early 20th centure. Written from the view of English settlers, Beryl Markham was quite a character. Rumor has it that she may not have penned the book herself. I would like to... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

What is Pride ? Is it `Pride' to Review a Classic ?
I've always loved the movie version of `Out of Africa' with Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. Whether it was the character development, or the wild life, or the Mozart throughout the film score, the symbiosis of all of the above consistently... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Bill Bryson is the funniest travel writer working today, I believe, and even when he takes on what is an unpleasant task - visiting one of the most depressed areas of the world in order to raise funds for CARE, he does it in a hilarious way.
In this short little book, Bryson not only shares... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The Flame Trees of Thika: Memories of an African Childhood
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Customer Review:
Having watched the DVDs of The Flame Trees of Thika several times, I was delighted to see the reissue of Elspeth Huxley's book of the same title. This is a unique case of both the book and the movie being about equal. Knowing the story from the movie in no way detracts from reading the book.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I spent three months in Kenya living with people from the Kikuyu tribe working at an orghanage in Dagoretti Market. I wish I had read this book before going.
