Malawi Memories is an account of life in 1967-1971 in Lilongwe, then the capital of the Central Region. It is drawn from the letters written by Humphrey and Anne Taylor to their parents, in England. Humphrey was appointed Rector of St Peter’s Anglican church in Lilongwe. His parish covered a huge area of outstations, churches, schools and political detention centres. Anne taught English and History in the Boys’ and Girls’ Secondary Schools at Likuni, a R.C. mission station five miles outside Lilongwe and, with a friend, ran a Homecraft class for African women in the Church hall.. St Peter’s Rectory was the midpoint of the Diocese, so many people travelling between the north and south, stayed overnight. Eventually, the Diocese agreed to let Humphrey build St Peter’s Guest House, which now features in the Rough Guide to Africa.The book describes the joys of living in such a beautiful country and notes the development of the Taylors’ two little daughters, for the benefit of their grandparents in England. It records the Humphrey and Anne Taylor’s efforts to serve the disparate communities they found there and the friendships they made with both Africans and Europeans. There are accounts of the tensions of working in post-colonial Africa, with inevitable friction between the races and cultures. Visits to other countries in Central Africa, enabled them to compare their political development with what was happening in Malawi, where President Hastings Banda became ever more despotic. During their leave in the UK, in 1970, Humphrey did an MA in African Urban Studies at SOAS. They returned to Malawi in December 1971 but nine months later, Humphrey was deported from Malawi on President Banda’s orders, because of his involvement with political detainees. The whole family returned to the UK. However, they retained their love for Malawi and its people and in 2000, Humphrey and Anne were invited to return to take part in the Jubilee celebrations of St Peter’s Church. They met old friends, including the Vice President, a former teaching colleague of Anne’s, and were able to see how the new democratic government was working as well as to observe the impact of AIDS and the doubling of the population in a country without mineral resources.

This book contains within it a partial record of my faults, failures, and successes of my high school career. No, not really! I wrote most of these poems from 1997-2001, mostly during study hall. Okay, some of them I did write while I was “learning” in class. These poems are in the order in which they were written. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as much as I did writing them. And remember before you criticize them too much that I was just a little high school student when I wrote them.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The author's recollection of a favorite black cocker spaniel dog, beautifully illustrated. John Galsworthy (1867-1933) devoted virtually his entire professional career to creating a fictional but entirely representative family of propertied Victorians- the Forsytes. He made their lives and times - loves and losses - fortunes and deaths so real that readers accused him of including as characters in his drama real individuals whom they knew. He was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.
