Signed Letter – Elspeth Huxley -1982 (References Kenya)

Type written and signed clearly by author and African legend Elspeth Huxley. Embossed address.

To Crosby … returning a signed book … and responding to the recipient’s suggestion of starting a business selling signed book. Elspeth will oblige and is prepared to sign half a dozen but suggests that the postage may be prohibitive. She closes with reference to Kenya and a recent visit “It has changed of course, but where has not?” and mentions the TV serial “I think the producers did an excellent job in re-creating the atmosphere etc of 1913/14, insofar as they could”.

The TV serial of course is the Flam Trees of Thika along with Mottled Lizard her most lyrical work. She was five years old in 1912 when her parents arrived at Thika. Her husband was the grandson of the great Thomas Huxley. She published many works and fell out with Harold Macmillan who refused to publish her description of female mutilation of the worst type.

Elspeth Huxley highly respected and knew Africa. Boldly Signed.
