Jock of the Bushveld: A 100 Year Celebration - Fitzpatrick, Sir Percy

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to upper back inside corner; slight wear to lower spine extreme; otherwise very minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; The classic and much loved story, based on the true experiences of Percy Fitzpatrick and his Staffordshire bull terrier Jock. The story begins in the 1880s, at the time of the South African gold rush, when the young Fitzpatrick worked as an ox-wagon transport rider in the old Transvaal. There he came across a man who was in the process of drowning a puppy - the runt of the litter. Percy saved the dog and the story of his ever-faithful and loving companion was born. The original illustrations drawn by Edmund Caldwell appear in this edition.
