Sub-title: A personal record of ten years served as District Commissioner in Rhodesia's largest administrative area, Nuanetsi, in the south-eastern Lowveld. Squarish 8vo; original pictorial boards; endpaper map; pp. (x) + 397; plates. Ever so slightly sunned on spine. Near-fine condition. 'I spotted the old, spider-wheeled, ox-drawn road grader lying abandoned and rusting on the grass verge of the tar-strip road which then connected Fort Victoria with Beitbridge and knew I had reached the spot where we had to turn left. I drove on down a rough, corrugated track for two miles and by turning my head sideways as I slipped past a ragged thorn tree, I was able to decipher the legend on a faded blue Automobile Association notice which hung by one nail from the dust-streaked trunk. It read "NUANETSI". I pulled up my old Chevrolet sedan and glanced back to see if my wife, Delia, was in sight. She was driving her Ford Zodiac and both our vehicles were laden to window level with suitcases and small household treasures, two black and tan sausage dogs named Admiral Carl Doenitz and Admiral von Hipper and a gentle golden spaniel called Zaka. Somewhere in the dust behind us was a large pantechnicon, grinding along with our furniture and effects and two African house servants, who insisted on travelling with their own precious goods and chattels.'.
