Juvenile hardback. When their parents inadvertently leave them alone for a week, three children, very new to Africa, insist on going on a camping trip (!) and their Kenya-born neighbor goes along taking her family's reluctant servant Kipchirchir. It is the time of the Mau Mau uprising and this is an attempt by an English writer from Kenya to explain African perspectives to Kenyan English children, drawn from real incidents and characters.
