A Rip Van Winkle Of The Kalahari

First published in 1915, these seven stories exemplify the beautiful, but arid and treacherous area that forms part of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa and Namibia (then South-West Africa). Most of these stories were written on the veldt; at odd times, in out- of-the-way prospecting camps, or in the wilds of the Kalahari Desert. They bring us reminiscences of a long-forgotten era and of a variety of fascinating characters and dangerous animals that roamed this area.
