Blurb....................:
A fabulous vintage publication with much of interest.
Especially graphic is the back cover imagination of the attack by Mau Mau terrorists upon Kitty Hesselburger & Dorothy Raines Simpson in their house in Nyeri on the evening of the 2nd January, 1953.

This  most poignant image, contemporary with the emotion & horror of the event, imagines the scene as one of the thugs gets his just deserts from the barrel of  Mrs Simpson's pistol. The two good ladies killed three assailants outright whilst a fourth escaped from the scene of his misadventure, badly wounded.
A decription from an archive source:
  " On the evening of 2January, Mau Mau attacked a farmhouse near Nyeri
which was occupied by Mrs. Kitty Hesselberger and Mrs. Raynes Simpson.  Mrs.
Simpson was seated in a chair facing the door, with a pistol on the arm of
her chair.  When the houseboy entered the room in a suspicious manner, Mrs.
Simpson intuitively picked up the pistol only seconds before a Mau Mau gang
came through the door.  Her first shot killed the leader who was charging
her with a raised panga, and her second shot distracted another whose panga
was about to fall upon Mrs. Hesselberger.  Mrs. Simpson continued to fire
methodically at the attacker, giving Mrs. Hesselberger time to pick up a
nearby shotgun, which prompted the gang's hasty retreat.  Hearing noises in
the adjoining bathroom, both womem fired through the wall.  A blood trail
through the open bathroom window indicated they at least wounded one; three
dead Mau Mau were left behind.
