Wizard of the Crow (Murogi wa Kagogo)

Ngugi wa Thiong'o · Pantheon Books (New York) / Harvill Secker (London) · 2006

2006 is the first English-language edition; the Gikuyu original, Murogi wa Kagogo, appeared in 2004. The US Pantheon and UK Harvill Secker issues are both dated 2006 and precedence between the two is not firmly established, so both are best treated as co-first English-language editions; confirm the imprint and number line on any given copy.
