About This Item
(no place: McAlan, 1958). Dustwrapper title: More True Stories from THIS AFRICA. 8vo; original pale blue cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper, housed in removable protector; decorative endpapers; pp. xiii + (i) + 313; line drawings as head-pieces. Slightest edgewear to dustwrapper. Very good condition. 'Again, as in his first successful book of this series - This Africa of Ours - the Author takes us through the length and breadth of a great Continent. His stories - taken from what has been described as "the best 'indigenous' programme ever heard in Southern Africa" - have lost nothing in translation from radio form to the written word. The reader will learn of adventure and achievement, of tragedy and success; of the happenings that have given Africa her greatness. Here is a book for young and old alike, and one that should have its place in every home throughout the land.' .
