@Wavidani

'WIRUTE GUTHOMA' can be found in bookshops in Kenya,especially Nairobi and Central Kenya.

I suppose you can make an order at one of the major bookshops,if it is not readily available. Otherwise you can also find them on offer in the WWW.

There are several books in a series by F. K. Kago. I wish you 'happy reading'.



All beginnings are difficult ..... ..... everything has an end,only a sausage has two.

@Sokomjinga: Will get those books,Thanks.Need serious lessons,starting now if you don't mind. Na mutigatheke.

'Ciunagwo rukomo kimenyi akamenya ikiunwo'

Rukomo ni kii?

@Njung'e: 'ruoro rugitema' - Does this mean 'break of dawn'?

'Nyakinyua' nii mutumia? atumia? muiretu?

Am guessing here.Please help!

@Wavidani,

Let's say you are right in both instances.........

@Soko,

Did you ever read books and materials by Gakaara (RIP) of Gakaara press??......Lemme hear from anybody who knows if this publications are still available.I would be very much interested........

@Wanyuru,

Wee....!!...Njukiriiruo riria Mara ateire nyina......

Old man about town....

@Njung'e

I have read very few Kikuyu books and I do not think I have read these. I had a very small text book that my father told me had been proscribed by the Nyakeeru. It might be one one of those. I could still be having it somewhere,but I do not know where.

@ Wavidani

You might find the book '1000 Kikuyu Proverbs,by G. Barra' useful for your 'Kikuyu Studies'. Sometime back it was also available at the UON bookshop.
