  • NOBODY’S DARLING In the early 1900s, against the backdrop of British colonial rule in Kenya, Mũthoni Nyanjirũ—a fearless young woman—rises up against the injustice of the hut tax and the ban on the sacred ituika ceremony, an ancient Kikuyu rite of passage. Driven by a deep sense of indignation and love for her people, Mũthoni’s protest leads her to a pivotal role in Kenya's fight for freedom. Her quest for the rights of her people propels her to Nairobi—the restless township blooming from a marsh—leaving behind those dear to her in order to free them. There, she confronts the injustices of the day head-on, joining hands with like-minded Harry Thuku and Johnstone Kamau in the nascent liberation movement. But when the colonial authorities arrest Harry Thuku in 1922, Muthoni leads a daring protest that ultimately costs her life, making her one of the earliest martyrs of Kenya’s liberation movement. She is unceremoniously buried in an unmarked grave and condemned to oblivion by the very people whose liberty she was fighting for. Nobody’s Darling reimagines the life of this unsung heroine, piecing together fragments of her defiant legacy from the archives and fading memories. This historical fiction novel was written to mark Mũthoni Nyanjirũ’s centenary in March 2022. NOBODY’S DARLING KShs 1,000.00

Leakey: A Must-Read on Agĩkũyũ History and Culture This remarkable three-volume book, The Southern Kikuyu Before 1903, offers an in-depth account of the Agĩkũyũ people’s traditions, way of life, and social structures before and during the onset of European influence.

It covers diverse topics such as: Customs and traditions Agriculture and animal husbandry Trade and marriage customs Arts and clothing Cuisine and rites of passage Religious beliefs, magic, and medicine In addition, the botanical index at the end of the book is an exceptional resource, offering one of the most comprehensive listings of native plants from the Mt. Kenya region. This Third Unabridged Edition, now available in a high-quality paperback format, is a must-have for historians, researchers, and anyone passionate about African culture and history.
