On the Edge of the Rift: Memories of Kenya
First American edition/ first printing (prior to "73 statement usually not indicated, only indicated later printings), brown cloth and half board black cover w dark brown and yellow font on spine, 409 pps, without writing, marks, stains, tight binding, appears as close to new as any 50+ years old book can be. Dust wrapper is also equally well preserved, bright without tears, etc and is not price clipped. Now under mylar wraps. Harvey Kidder, cover illustrator. "Mrs. Huxley's natural descriptions, her accounts of the wild life and of the hunting, are entrancing, as is her analysis of the personality of the Kikiyu, the natives who were the family servants. One reviewer has remarked what a joy it is to read of someone who actually enjoyed her childhood. From this book one can understand why so many white sellers want to stay in Africa in spite of present difficulties."
