Rebacked in green clothwith original spine, new end papers; colour frontispiece, plates and marginal illustrations, with the drawings of a dung beetle pushing his load with his front legs rather than his back legs on pages 65, 337 and 457 and Snowball the horse being dragged out of the river on page 316 - these drawings were changed in later impressions. Fitzpatrick's adventures during this time of his life, when he was pioneering in the Bushveld, are vividly described in his book Jock of the Bushveld, which is generally accepted as a South African classic. In the early 1900's he used to recount the adventures of his dog Jock (a Staffordshire Bull terrier cross), in the form of bedtime stories to his four children, Nugent, Alan, Oliver, and Cecily, to whom the book was dedicated - the likkle people. Rudyard Kipling, an intimate friend, used to take part in these story-telling evenings and he it was who persuaded FitzPatrick to put the stories together in book form. Having done this, FitzPatrick searched for a suitable artist to illustrate the book and eventually came across Edmund Caldwell in London and brought him to South Africa to visit the Bushveld and make the drawings on the spot.

About the product South African Library General Series, Number 18. 210 x 145 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. 78, incl. index; monochrome illustrations. Wrappers very slightly rubbed. Very good condition."Porter's Touwfontein letters are published firstly as an insider's account of an important development in the history of South Africa, for the meeting convened by the Governor in 1845 was the beginning of a chain of events which led to the appointment of a British Resident in the Transorange in the same year, the proclamation of British sovereignty over the area in 1848 and the establishment of the Orange Free State in 1854. In addition, however, the letters also provide an entertaining and informative description of conditions in the interior of South Africa in the 1840s."
