Original light blue boards with black decoration and two prancing zebras to front board.

Bunny Allen arrived in Kenya in 1927 with a desire to become a professional hunter-what he became was a legend. The young, personable, and charismatic Bunny Allen with his trademark earring followed his brothers out to East Africa, and soon after arriving he had the great good fortune to meet up with Donald Ker of Ker & Downey Safaris, who gave him work as a professional hunter. In the early years he hunted with many illustrious people such as Denys Finch-Hatton and Karen Blixen.

Bunny made his reputation as an elephant hunter and as an outfitter to Hollywood's stars and moguls. Bunny was the professional hunter hired for such movies as Mogambo, starring Ava Gardner, Clark Gable, and Grace Kelly. Bunny published two previous books, First Wheel and Second Wheel. The Wheel of Life is his third complete book, and it contains some of Bunny's best stories never before published.

This is volume 34 in Safari Press's Classics in African Hunting Series. Artwork by Harry Claassens and Foreword by Ben.H.Carpenter. 306 pages text with supporting black and white photographic illustrations. Signed, numbered - 586/1000 copies with slipcase.
