Description

A remarkable volume of verse from Cripps, subsequent author of 'Africa For Africans' and pro-African missionary, still apparently highly regarded in Zimbabwe. He was the subject of the acclaimed book 'The Dust Diaries' published by his great-great-nephew Owen Sheers in 2005. This volume signed by Cripps on card affixed to front pastedown, and owned by S Aslin. Laid in is a sheet with details of the costs associated with erection of the Aslin Memorial at Entebbe. Revd. Cripps' donation of 15 Rupees is noted along with others and details of transportation costs from Nairobi, etc. Light foxing throughout, but otherwise in general VG order. Quarter cloth, with paper spine label largely missing, with grey paper-covered boards, only lightly marked.
