Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales From the Veld
The tales here set forth are, subject to a generous allowance for Uncle Abe's gift of imagination, true to the animal life and the scenery of a district in the Cape occupied by the British Settlers of 182o - a tract rich in incidents of border warfare, hallowed by the struggles of that early band of colonists, saturated with the superstitions and folklore of the Kaffirs, and thoroughly. Familiar to the author - who passed his boyhood there.
