Wagon on Fire by William Illsley. H/C. 240 pp. 1955

A fascinating read about the South Africa of old. First edition, published by The Epworth Press in 1955. The dust jacket has brown marks and slight tearing at the edges. The pages inside are clean with slight foxing on page edges. Binding very good. Wagon on Fire is the story of an African caught up in the maelstrom of political and racial tensions in South Africa. Enjoy the accurate portraits of the varied types in this multi-racial land: the Afrikaner farmer, the African agitator, the Dutch dominee, the verkrampte Calvinist and the bleary-eyed jingoist.
