What they lack in know-how they make up for in determination: building a grass house, employing local Kikuyu tribe members and painstakingly transforming their patch of wilderness into a working farm. Huxley’s unforgettable childhood memoir is a sensitive account of settler life at the turn of the twentieth century and a love song to the harshness and beauty of East Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elspeth Huxley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64839192641885,"sku":"9780099577263","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/9358\/9341\/files\/9780099577263.jpg?v=1780057738","url":"https:\/\/adventureintobooks.co.uk\/products\/9780099577263","provider":"Adventure Into Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
