About This Item
(London: Jonathan Cape, 1923). Large 8vo; original dark blue buckram, lettered in gilt on spine and upper cover; pp. 132, incl. index; colour frontis. with tissue-guard; plates. Slight, partial discolouration to cloth; a little scattered foxing. Very good condition. (Hosken, p. 64; Schapera E522) "These few pages attempt to show the Basuto people in their homes, to tell in brief outline their history, and to describe their country. They aim at satisfying the appetite of those who, having friends in Basutoland, want to know something of the place, its scenery and its people without being glutted with the intricacies of tribal genealogies and the minute details of internecine strife." - From the Preface. "Useful, general account ... good bibliography." - Schapera: Select Bibliography of South African Native Life and Problems, p. 89 .
