In 1949, newlyweds Tom and Angela Huleatt-James left war-torn Europe for a new life in Africa. Fleeing the grey skies of post-war Britain, they were attracted to the idea of farming in Southern Rhodesia and determined to work there for a better future. In this book, their son Mark tells the story of their adventures in Africa and his childhood and education in Southern Rhodesia. This was the time when European hegemony in the area was at its zenith. The difficult years of the Great Depression and World War II were over and an agricultural and commodities boom was under way. Mark Huleatt-James details his memories of being a young child in this period - from a love of wildlife to the social life enjoyed by Europeans at the time.
Mark Huleatt-James was a solicitor and partner in a City of London law firm until his retirement in 2009. He was born in 1950 in what was then Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia and lived in Africa until 1972. He is a director of ILFA, a charitable organisation set up for the purpose of building legal excellence in Africa.
