202 pages, a lovely book in its maroon brushed cover with gilt writing and design. Foreword by Ethelreda Lewis. "To General J B M Hertzog, Prime Minister and Minister for Native Affairs for the Union of South Africa, these stories are, with permission, dedicated". Contains 20 stories, augmented by pencil drawings, including "The Dagga Smokers", "The Tax Payers" and "The Game Patrol" as well as the eponymous title. Mild bumping to corners, free end papers have browned over time, the odd other mark, but generally VG+.
