The Nylon Safari
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1956. Rehna Cloete. hardcover. 8vo 276pp. from front flap: "This is the reasonably accurate story of a girl who got a great big diamond as an anniversary present. It was a rough diamond in the human shape of a White Hunter--the guide, philosopher, and friend of anyone unwary enough to embark on an African safari. For three weeks Tiny Cloete accompanied her author-husband and the White Hunter on a camera trip through Tanganyika. For the price of a mink coat she reveled in the luxuries of a fly tent and collapsible canvas bath, hardboiled eggs and a thermos of coffee-tea. But she didn't revel quietly and this thoroughly engaging book is the record of what she had to say to her two out-size boy scouts in the bleak dawns and the hungry noons and the lion-noisy nights."
