    Description

    Early Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    Second edition copy of this work, with addition of a new introduction.

    In very scarce variant green cloth binding.

    Cetywayo and His White Neighbours contains remarks on events in what was then Zululand, Natal and the Transvaal. Zululand was a monarchy in Southern Africa and Transvaal was a province of South Africa from 1910 to 1994.

    This volume is a non-fiction book which was Haggard's first full-length published work based on his time working in South Africa. Cetywayo refers to the Zulu King Cetshwayo who was king of the Zulu Kingdom during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879.

    The new introduction discusses changes in South Africa in the five years since the first edition was published.

    Print run of 1000 copies only.
