First edition of the sequel to the author’s I Dreamed of Africa. Octavo, original boards. Boldly signed by the author in the year of publication on the title page, “Kuki Gallmann 1994.” Fine in a near fine dust jacket.

Continuing the book "I Dreamed of Africa", this volume is written in episodes and covers Kuki's life over the last ten to 12 years. She refers glancingly to the deaths of her husband and son, covering family issues, the conservation and preservation of the animals around her, the fear and beauty of being lost in the bush at night, a king cobra who visits the tree planted over Emanuele's grave and, in the eyes of the local Pokot women, therefore brings evidence that Emanuele's spirit is at peace, an encounter with a baby rhino and a new man in Kuki's life.
