Nicholas Best is a British author of Anglo-Irish origin. He grew up in Kenya and was educated there and in England and at Trinity College, Dublin. He served with the Grenadier Guards in Windsor and Belize and worked in London as a journalist before becoming a full-time author.
His early books include Happy Valley: The story of the English in Kenya, and Where were you at Waterloo?, a satirical novel of army life. His second novel, Tennis and the Masai,[1] was later serialised on BBC Radio 4. It told the story of a Kenya prep school similar to Best's own,[2] where the cricket score arrived by carrier pigeon and runaway boys were hunted down with spearmen and tracker dogs.
