Product Description
Jock of the Bushveld
Author: Phillida Simons
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 6+
One of Africa's classic tales, enjoyed by generations. This is the first time, however, that the life and times of Sir Percy Fitzpatrick's stout-hearted bull terrier has been within the grasp of young readers.
Illustrations together with text, which is an abridgement faithful to the original story, will enthral children as they share in the exciting scrapes and adventures of a man and his dog in the Transvaal bushveld a century ago.
About the Author
Phillida Brooke Simons is a well-known historical researcher and writer. In Cape Dutch Houses and Other Old Favourites her lively style combines with carefully researched detail to evoke a time when Dutch was the Cape's lingua franca and when the town's elite bowled down Adderley Street's cobbles in a horse and carriage.
