Provides an account of author Anthony Trollope's travels around South Africa when British rule was being challenged by the native peoples. The author relates a history of the Dutch and British colonial rule imposed over them as well as descriptions of the people, the architecture, the landscape and the sights and sounds of late 19th South Africa.
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a truly prolific Victorian novelist whose most famous works include his series of 'Barchester' and 'Palliser' novels. He is also credited with introducing the red pillar box while working as a civil servant with the Post Office in Ireland. After his retirement he travelled to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, producing books on his visits to all three.
