Item description from seller

Paperback. "Waters of the Sanjan is fiction based on fact, woven around the life of a known (Masai) warrior who lived at the turn of the century. It is an historical novel and the events portrayed were not unusual in the life of a warrior of those times. The customs and traditions are accurate; the places where events took place are real places and to date still go by the same name. The Waters of the Sanjan, translated literally, Inkariak-oo-Sanjan, means "The Waters of Sweehearts", and in fact is a place that lies to the North of the famous treeless undulating savannah known the world over as The Serengeti, and to the Masai as Sirinket. Isirinket are the people who lived in the now unique Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About the Author

The author is perhaps one of the last lifelong European Tanzanian settlers, who possesses an intimate knowledge of the Masai. He has, since childhood, mixed freely in friendship with both their children and the elders, and has had a unique opportunity to observe their way of life and customs.” David Read was born in Nairobi, Kenya, on 23rd April 1922. Left on her own when young David was barely three months old, his mother faced the daunting prospect of fending for the family at a time when things were far from easy for a lone woman. She eventually sought a living in Masailand when David was seven, the only European woman for a hundred miles around, and there she ran a small hotel and traded with the Masai. Here too, David spent the next seven years of childhood, a period during which he became every inch a Masai but for the colour of his skin. His only playmates were the Masai children. Masai became his first language, followed by Swahili before English, and he ran wild with his friends and the game, unfettered by European conventions, free to roam those wide open spaces steeped in African tradition and the Masai way of life and associating closely with nature and the wildlife in the process. Totally accepted as a Masai by the tribe, he took part in meat festivals and other tribal gatherings and ceremonies. This period of his early life is covered in his first book Barefoot Over the Serengeti. This idyllic life was interrupted by the need for a more formal period of education in Tanganyika, where he also qualified and worked as a metallurgist. His work was cut short by the Second World War, during which he served with a number of East African units, and had the privilege of commanding the Uganda contingent at the Victory Parade in London in 1945. After the War he spent six years working for the Tanganyika Veterinary Department, which gave him the opportunity to renew his early associations with the Masai people. He owned a farm on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, but with the gaining of independence by the East African countries, life became more tenuous and difficult for him. Finally in 1979 he returned to Kenya as an Agricultural Consultant. David has a unique quiver of qualifications: farmer, cattle dealer, hunter, aviator, fisherman and boat builder. His first love remains the Masai people, with whom he remains closely involved. www.david-read.com
