They were adapted for the stage by P.G. du Plessis, staged by PACT in 1970, and later became a television series, which premiered in South Africa in August 1983, the same year as this edition. A pleasing copy for collectors of Afrikaans literature and popular Afrikaans fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Mikro (Christoffel Hermanus Kühn)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMikro was the pseudonym of Christoffel Hermanus Kühn, one of the most prolific Afrikaans authors of his generation, credited with around a hundred books under that name.
