8vo; original black boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. viii + (iv) + 338; map; monochrome plates. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed and edgeworn, with earlier owner's tape repair to reverse of spine panel; spine a bit cocked; some spotting to edges. Very good condition. "In the 1930s, at the height of America's Great Depression, Drury Pifer's father, a young, newly-married mining engineer, followed his obsession with rocks, stones and mineral formations to the mysterious mines of South Africa. Drury Pifer's father, an American idealist with progressive notions about pay and working conditions, now found himself caught between the insular hostility of the Afrikaners and the colonial arrogance of the English. His adopted country was a place of primitive mining settlements, stinging desert winds, locust plagues, rats in the water supply, bullying bosses and terrible poverty. Racial hatred had been given a name and was now enforced by law: apartheid. It was here that Drury Pifer's parents, unprepared for the prison-camp conditions and ugly prejudice, tried to raise their young family. Innocents in Africa is a magical evocation of a South African boyhood, by a boy who never belonged.".

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. 1st American Edition; 1st Printing. This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in mostly clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket is mostly clean and bright, but has some light fading to the spine. "Rushdie's first novel, Grimus (1975) , a part-science fiction tale, was generally ignored by the public and literary critics. His next novel, Midnight's Children (1981) , catapulted him to literary notability. This work won the 1981 Booker Prize and, in 1993 and 2008, was awarded the Best of the Bookers as the best novel to have received the prize during its first 25 and 40 years. Midnight's Children follows the life of a child, born at the stroke of midnight as India gained its independence, who is endowed with special powers and a connection to other children born at the dawn of a new and tumultuous age in the history of the Indian sub-continent and the birth of the modern nation of India. The character of Saleem Sinai has been compared to Rushdie. However, the author has refuted the idea of having written any of his characters as autobiographical, stating, "People assume that because certain things in the character are drawn from your own experience, it just becomes you. In that sense, I ve never felt that I ve written an autobiographical character." " (from Wikipedia).
