Cetywayo and his white neighbours; or, remarks on recent events in Zululand, Natal, and the Transvaal

Haggard, H. Rider

Description:

Haggard's first book was not a novel, but his study of the recent events in Zululand (the Anglo-Zulu War) and the Transvaal (including annexation and the First Anglo-Boer War). This is the second edition of this highly collectable item of Africana. Orignally published in 1882 in a small edition, this second edition has an extensive new introduction of 62 pages, mainly updating the author's observations on and concerns for the Zulu people. This introduction makes this an important addition to Haggard collections. Original blue cloth. Pp. lxxii,314. Cloth very slightly frayed at head & foot of spine, covers slightly soiled, inscription on half-title, text lightly browned
