Condition: Very Good +. This book is in very good condition. The wraps have some very slight/limited signs of wear and the book pages are clean, intact and the corners and spine remains undamaged. This book has clearly been well maintained and looked after thus far.

Specifically put together for the centenary of the Anglo-Boer South African War, this collection gathers together all the stories Bosman wrote about the war, from the famous "Mafeking Road" and "The Rooinek", to the less well-known but equally incisive "The Traitor's Wife" and "Peaches Ripening in the Sun." Narrated principally by Oom Schalk Lourens, these eleven tales capture Bosman's humorous and empathetic - yet unillusioned - view of this watershed event in South African history.
