Richmond, Surrey: Simpson, 1968. 96pp. NEW, unmarked, green linen covered soft cover - the cleanest and freshest copy of this title we have ever seen. A late post-Independence copy of this minor classic, a stand-by for all Keenya settlers from the 1930's on. Simple Swahili. The [revised] sub-title says it all, and the contents give a good reflection of period attitudes.. Learn how to say in Swahili: 'Bring food immediately!...Boy! I have lost my pipe....The latrine is full of fleas. That man is a witch-doctor, see the frog in his pocket!' (all on p.33). Endless surreal language fun, and the verbs seem simple, being mainly limited to the short, imperative form. L12. 16th Edition..
