JOY ADAMSON was born in 1910 in Austria and received her education in Vienna. She travelled to Kenya to visit friends when she was twenty-six years old and stayed there until her death in 1980. She was a well-known painter and photographer who was commissioned by the Kenyan government to paint portraits of African tribesmen and photograph the indigenous flora of East Africa, for which she was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Grenfell Gold Medal. She was the author of two further novels, Living Free and Forever Free, in addition to launching the Elsa Wild Animal Appeal, which was dedicated to the protection of wildlife. George Adamson, the Senior Game Warden of Kenya's Northern Frontier Province, was her husband.
