Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Jock, a small, unassuming hunting dog, and his extraordinary journey from being the odd one out to becoming a legend. Set against the backdrop of the untamed South African bushveld in the late 19th century, the narrative follows the adventures of Jock and his owner, the enigmatic Rocky, as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of hunting in the wild. As the unlikely pair face dangerous animals and harsh conditions, their bond deepens, and Jock's innate courage, determination, and unique hunting instincts emerge. The author explores the profound connection between humans and animals, highlighting the importance of loyalty, perseverance, and mutual respect in the face of adversity. Through Jock's story, the reader gains insights into the complex and ever-changing relationship between humans and the natural world, offering a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant tale of friendship, adventure, and the indomitable spirit that can be found in even the most unassuming of creatures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

There was a Boy who went to seek his fortune. Call him boy or man: the years proved nothing either way! Some will be boyish always; others were never young: a few - most richly dowered few - are man and boy together. He went to seek his fortune, as boys will and should; no pressure on him from about; no promise from beyond. For life was easy there, and all was pleasant, as it may be in a cage. 'To-day' is sure and happy; and there is no to-morrow in a cage.
There were friends enough - all kind and true - and in their wisdom they said: "Here it is safe: yonder all is chance, where many indeed are called, but few - so few - are chosen. Many have gone forth; some to return, beaten, hopeless, and despised; some to fall in sight outside; others are lost, we know not where; and ah! so few are free and well. But the fate of numbers is unheeded still; for the few are those who count, and lead; and those who follow do not think 'How few,' but cry 'How strong! How free!' Be wise and do not venture. Here it is safe: there is no fortune!"

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
