About
From Antiquarian Auctions dot com:
“It is seldom that there appears a work of fiction, purporting to portary the secrets of wild life – human or other – whose author, through long and intimate acquaintance with his subject, is in a position to paint a true picture.
Mr Pirow is one of the select few, and this book, recounting the stirring adventures of a little native African boy, who having escaped from his raided village, is for many months thrown entirely upon his own resources, is in a great measure, an exciting lesson in natural history.”
About the Author
From Wikipedia:
“Oswald Pirow, QC (14 August 1890 – 11 October 1959) was a South African lawyer and far-right politician who held office as minister of justice, and later minister of defence for the National and United Party, respectively. Pirow eventually left the UP upon the Second World War and joined Daniel Malan’s reunited National Party, but eventually broke when Pirow founded the New Order of South Africa, a marginal fascist group that disbanded before the end of the war. A celebrated jurist, including by future President Nelson Mandela, he served the NP government as a prosecutor in the Treason Trial until his death.”
