@Wendz, Hekaya za Abunuwasi is quite common in bookshops.What i am not sure is the other books but i do remember the author of Ali Baba....It happens that one dude and an old school mate of mine used to refer to her sister by a translation of the name (Watene) and yes,the book is by Margaret Early. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

...inherited from my father. It is one of those books that look like they have been peed on!!! Kila page iko na colour yake. But I treasure it na iko tu. I am not sure where you can get a copy. There is a shoop in Yaya center (Bookstop), where I always get old books that I cant get anywhere. Try it. Third floor, next to Truworths...

I doubt when they were published they had 'copyrights"... LOL

...No problem. I will drink to that. The only problem is that I wont want to reveal my identity because that will restrict me on what I can post here...and you know I could be your local church PASTOR. But that is easy to solve...Will organise like the way kidanappers do...probably drop it somewhere in a dustbin in town at an agreed time and place. I will chill somewhere as you pick it and do the copies. Then return it in the dustbi, I pick and go. I guess that is the only way it can work... But my next stop in Nairobi will be in November...

@Magigi...tough luck hiding your identity with this method, unless you send someone different to collect the book, otherwise kama ni wewe.....you can be sure @wendz will be watching from a distance. @Intell...nice one! Guess who's been watching too much DStv

hehehehehehe... good one!!!! but posting the copies would be ideal (may be address it as Abunuwasi Wendz).... as for the fee, i can buy the summit vouchers & send coz M-kufa reveals real names.... or i ZAP/PAP with a friend's phone.... hehehehehehehe... talk of protecting identity.....

Wendz are you sure @Magigi is really talking about sambazaring you an abunuasi book? That drop off reminds me of that system of delivery beloved by the producers of some niche Kenyan film industry. Those ones who used to put up posters all over town with tag lines of 'Kikuyu Naked Gars', 'Hot Ruo Women'. Etc.

@others,
Who's got the Pwagu na Pwaguzi or knows how we can get a copy of this? If you never read it, it will bring you down in tears.... it was hilarious!
