These two books are being sold as a pair. They contain collections of his stories that were printed whilst he was a journalist in Kenya. He describes both interesting and humerous incidents of Kenyan life from both a personal and historical viewpoint. . The collection of Number 2, has a slightly damaged lower edge of the back cover extending four pages. At a guess it may have been caught in the jaws of a dog, but his does not detract from the enjoyment of the contents of the book. Book 3 does not have this problem! Book 2 has 43 stories , xix,127pp and Book 3 contains 37 stories, vii, 119pp.
