Hardcover. Condizione: VG. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Dust jacket condition: Very Good. Inscribed and SIGNED by author. Signed personal note and speaking brochure laid in. Short edge tear to jacket. Alice Princess Msumba, a spindly orphan girl, lived in a mud hut near Lake Nyassa (now Lake Malawi), Africa. The tribespeople ate rats and mice, lived in terror of photography and twin babies, and believed that if a pregnant woman ate salt, she and her whole family would die. Village girls cut patterns on their stomachs and rubbed charcoal into them; they believed that the decorative scars remaining kept them from being "slippery like snakes" and thus unmarriageable. Then Alice heard the bells of Luwazi Mission School. They led her toward achievment, toward education. Here she began her remarkable ascent that led to Salisbury, London, Los Angeles, and to a surprise appearance on "This Is Your Life" telecast from Hollywood. In this story you will also meet Lowell and Josephine Edwards, an American couple who adopted Alice and nicknamed her "Peaches." You will see why Mr. Edwards never found things dull living with "two tornadoes in the house at once" - his wife and Alice. With frankness and often an African flavor, Alice Princess describes things exactly as she sees and feels them: White people:"There are two kinds - the very best and the very worst." Her sister: "Tillie would have browbeaten a lion or a leopard. I knew right then she'd win out and that we'd go to school." Metal fasteners: "A new thing invented was a 'zeeper.' I still don't know how it works, but it does." Stage fright: "My tongue felt stiff was a mealie cob in my mouth." Being excited: "I looked down to see if my heart was making my blouse flutter." America: "Everything is fabulous in America if it is American at all." Since coming to the United States, Alice and her husband. Hulme Siwundhla, have graduated from college and gone on to doctoral studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Alice has been the featured speaker before hundreds of schools, service clubs, university groups and Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish conventions.…
