Vrouw Grobelaar and Her Leading Cases: Seventeen Short Stories

Buchbeschreibung

Vrouw Grobelaar by Perceval Gibbon is a collection of short stories following the fascinating and dangerous travels of an explorer in 19th-century South Africa. Excerpt: "After all," said the Vrouw Grobelaar weightily, "a coward is but one with keener eyes than his fellows. No young man fears a ghost till it is dark, but the coward sees the stars in the daytime, like a man at the bottom of a well, and ghosts walk all about him."
