About this Item
First edition. 8vo. Original pictorial wrappers. The scarce second collection of stories by South African writer, educationalist, artist and activist Mphahlele, celebrated as the Father of African Humanism and considered one of the founding figures of modern African literature. The collection was printed in Nigeria, where Mphahlele had taken refuge in 1957, and features several of most important stories, including the title story and 'We'll Have Dinner at Eight'. Some light staining to top margin of some leaves; later sticker on lower wrapper, but overall a good example. Seller Inventory # 85095
