This title features the short stories written by South Africans from all walks of life over a period of a hundred years. From the oral traditions of the San and other African peoples, right through to the most modern writers of the twenty-first century, Chapman has selected the best of this interesting and much loved genre. Some of the old favourites and standards from A Century of South African Short Stories, which had three different editions, remain. Previously unpublished stories have been found and added, and have resulted in an unprecedented treasury of wonderful tales.
