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.
Back Jacket
Wilfred Thesiger is one of this century's greatest travellers and explorers. His books 'Arabian Sands' and 'The Marsh Arabs' have been hailed as classics of modern travel writing. This latest work, which follows on from his bestselling autobiography, 'The Life of My Choice', provides a compelling record of Thesiger's thirty years in Kenya.
Lavishly illustrated by his magnificent photographs, this book contains superb evocations of Kenya's vanishing tribal heritage, of the dramatic landscapes of Thesiger's Kenya journeys, and intimately portrays his Samburu companions and surroundings at Maralal, where he has made his home.
"In 'My Kenya Days' admirers of Thesiger will find something quite new and rather startling"
ROGER CLARK, 'Daily Telegraph'
"A touching, elegiac book"
