Bloemfontein, South Africa: A. C. White P. & P. Co., Ltd., 1930. Hardcover. Good. Hardcover with beige cloth spine; papered boards and front cover illustration. Corners worn; some biopredation on front cover and on several pages near gutter (limited to bottom 1.5 inches). No statement of date (1930s). 20 illustrations. [42] pages. Six institutional copies located on OCLC (Northwestern, Princeton, NYPL, National Library of South Africa, University of KwaZulu Natal, Msunduzi Municipal Library). A collection of witty, comic, sometimes satirical tales featuring a variety of talking veld animals (and one talking sausage), including dassies, a meerkat, springbok, ant eater, elephant and others). A few feature the Picannin, who is very clever and attempts to teach the animals. The white adults who appear are found quite absurd. [Ref: Jenkins, E. (2006).
