Unknown, with few contacts, less money and a baby son to care for, Doris Lessing arrived in England from South Africa in search of fame as a writer. With an integrity of purpose which demanded relentless self-criticism and revision after revision she finally completed the manuscript of The Grass is Singing and had it accepted within three days of its submission to a publisher.
This Was The Old Chief's Country is Mrs Lessing's second book and is a collection of long and short stories which have the common theme of a South African setting .
Hard cover, fair condition. No dust jacket. The paper is browning. Light brown boards. Published in 1951 by Michael Joseph.
