Jock of the Bushveld

‘Hunting stories, like traveller’s tales, are proverbially dangerous to reputations, however literally true they may be…’ So wrote J. Percy FitzPatrick of his perennial bestseller, never out of print in the century since its first publication. Here is the story of the ‘Boy’ who went to seek his fortune and of his bull-terrier, the plucky runt of the litter; of Marokela, the champion Zulu haulier; of Jantje, the Bushman with all his lore; and of pioneer types from previous goldrushes in California and Australia.
