Table of contents
This collection of stories, rooted in truth and legend, from a forgotten time in South Africa’s past, the Forties, and a little-known part, the Lowveld, is a window into a magical time when people were uncluttered by philosophical baggage and worked for one purpose: to make a living to enjoy life.
“An enchanting collection of Lowveld tales, packed with eccentric characters, bush lore and African magic. Wilf Nussey’s considerable talent as a raconteur has produced a great read, filled with humour and charm.”
—Jo-Anne Richards, bestselling author of The Innocence of Roast Chicken, Touching the Lighthouse, My Brother’s Book and The Imagined Child
