In 1913, at the age of six, the author accompanied her parents from England to Kenya. In this autobiography, Huxley recalls her childhood as a time of "adventure and freedom." She writes an unforgettable story of growing up among the Masai and Kikuyu people and discovering the beauty and the terrors of the jungle. A real literary treasure!
