Libro Prima edizione Copia autografata
Soft cover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. Mary Nicholas (illustratore). 1st Edition. 6 + 310 pages, very nicely illustrated by a number of drawings. Tales from Africa by Major Douglas Tatham Collins, "gifted raconteur and writer", include many as a soldier and administrative officer in the Somalilands ("the legendary land of Punt") of north-eastern Africa in the 1940s and '50s. The first nine stories are all grouped under 'Somalia' and here Dougie remembers his postings, his colleagues in the services picking up the pieces after Italian rule, of his meeting his beautiful Somali mistress, of his shooting a goose whilst in the nude, of the hardships in the desert, of the Ogaden and the Mijertein, of his Somali staff and the local population. The second grouping of stories is headed 'Wildlife and Hunting', the first of which concerns George Adamson and Collins' close involvement in the funeral arrangements of his old friend as well as many reminiscences of their friendship over very many years. Several other stories of Dougie Collins' career as a white hunter in the 1960s and '70s, of his clients and the animals they sought, much on Kenya. The next grouping of stories is "Lamu" where Collins lived for some 15 years in the 1980s and '90s. Lamu is that wonderful and quixotic island in north-east Kenya, visited in a certain era by many Hippies but also lived in by many characters and persons of interest. In the final gouping, 'Reminiscences', Collins pulls together a number of stories of fascination, including several on persons he knew, the most internationally noted of such being Wilfred Thesiger. But others of interest include Peter Hankin and Percival Alan Petley, Coconut Charlie and Naughty Francis. Animals and birds are frequently the subject of Collins' memories. Cricket afficionados might be interested in a match Collins arranged deep in Somaliland, and references to wartime cricket in Mogadishu, as well as references to the Nandi Bears cricket team at Londiani in the Rift Valley. Collins, evidently a very good batsman, according to the rear cover, used to immediately ask relief officers at his bush outpost "Do you bowl?" A marvellous book of reminiscences, memories and anecdotes of decades now long gone, providing the reader now with a view on to African history. As well as the large number of drawings to augment the text, Mary Nicholas was also responsible for the excellent cover design. [Book description, copyright Carvid Books] This has now become a very scarce book. This copy is SIGNED by the author, as part of a dedication, on the half-title page - "This one is for Bill Mills with salaams and felicitations - Douglas Collins, Vipingo 1998". The author was then living in Vipingo, just north of Mombasa, and signed this copy just months before his death in Nairobi in May 1999. Covers somewhat creased and marked; remnants of a price label on rear; some production negatives internally; a few odd marks. Signed by Author(s).
