Outspan: Tales of South Africa, The by Sir James Percy Fitzpatrick (1862 - 1931)

Six poignant short stories reminiscent of life as a transport rider in the Transvaal veld in the days of the gold rush in South Africa at the end of the 19th century. From an early age Fitzpatrick believed that life should be enjoyed to the full and his honest and often moving style of writing leaves one richer for having known him. (Summary by SallyMc)
