Paperback. Condition: Good. The much-loved classic by Percy Fitzpatrick, available as a limited centenary edition. Jock of the Bushveld, published in 1907, has been read and enjoyed by millions of children and is now a classic among animal stories. It remains as fresh and exciting as it was when it was first written. Since its release in 1907 it has remained a firm favourite in South Africa and has been widely read abroad; it has been printed in many languages including Afrikaans, Dutch, French, Xhosa and Zulu. Jock's owner was a young transport rider in the rugged and colourful days of the Transvaal gold rush. Those were the days when big game roamed the land and each sunrise brought a new adventure. Fitzpatrick first told his children about his adventures with his dog at bedtime. It was his close friend Rudyard Kipling who convinced him to collect the stories and record them in a book. The story of the bull terrier who shared his master's life on the veld has been illustrated with lively sketches by Edmund Caldwell. Fitzpatrick searched for a suitable artist to illustrate the book and settled on the talents of Edmund Caldwell, and he went as far as to take Caldwell to South Africa to see the Bushveld to ensure the authenticity of his illustrations.…

It was to meet this demand of a youthful but exacting audience that the author first told the story of Jock's life in the hunter's paradise of the African bush. Jock is a bull-terrier. When he is born he is the ugliest of a litter of six; but he grows up to be the wisest and bravest of them all. With his master he shares the excitement of a transport rider's life in the early days of the Transvaal gold rush; they become close companions and all Jock's skill and intelligence are needed in many thrilling and dangerous encounters with big game. Through the story of Jock and his master a vivid picture of the bushveld unfolds as together they discover its birds and beasts and men. This tale has become a classic among animal stories and today it is as fresh and exciting as when it was first told. It is published here in a new abridged edition to enable the younger reader to enjoy the book fully on his own without adult help or explanation. The original marginal illustrations have been retained but their layout is different. The illustrations at the end of the book have been added.Contents: The Background; Jess; The Pick of the Puppies; Jock's Schooldays; The First Hunt; In the Heart of the Bush; Lost in the Veld; The Impala Stampede; Jock's Night Out; The Kudu Bull; Jim Makokel'; The Allies; The Berg; Paradise Camp; The Leopard and the Baboons; Buffalo, Bushfire and Wild Dogs; Snowball and Tsetse; Jock's Mistake; Jantje; Monkeys and Wildebeeste; The Old Crocodile; The Fighting Baboon; The Last Trek; Our Last Hunt; Our Various Ways; His Duty; Bushveld Words and Pictures; Note on the Abridgement.…
