This is a collection of twenty essays entered from secondary schools all over Kenya in the 1966
Brooke Bond Essay Competition. They are remarkable not only for their varied content but also for their command of language. As the Hon. J. S.
Gichuru says in his Foreword, "in the tumbling colourful phrases and the unusual juxtapositions of words and ideas I felt that I was witnessing the birth of something altogether new and exciting, which I may perhaps christen 'East African English'." This theme is also stressed by W. G.
Bowman in his Introduction. In an age of over-editing and processing this book presents a refreshing challenge to all teachers and writers of English in East Africa.
