Boer farmers and their families from southern Africa with ox-wagons filled with all their possessions. Itinerants from the farthest reaches of the world escaping the depression and aftermath of the Franco-Prussian war, carrying little more than toothbrush, razor and a photograph of a loved one, all lured to the colony by the promise of riches beyond their dreams. \u003cb\u003eCharles Atherstone\u003c\/b\u003e is a threadbare poster artist from a Brighton carnival and an unsuspecting dreamer. He joins the rush, only to find on arrival at Cape Town that he has insufficient funds to pay the coach fare to the river diggings, a journey of some seven hundred miles. \u003cb\u003eFleetwood Erskine Tucker\u003c\/b\u003e is also in the colony to make his fortune, but with more creative means than the traditional methods of the diggers which, in his opinion required an unnecessary excess of perspiration and blisters. \u003cb\u003eIn the Kalahari desert\u003c\/b\u003e Their often hilarious adventures in the rugged wilderness of the Kalahari, their frenetic search for diamonds along with all the other hopefuls, their escapades with women, ox-wagons, wild animals and Boers forge their lives and characters. As an artist, Charles attracts the attention of some elderly Bushmen, who view his drawings of animals with awe. Diamonds have no value to them. Their simple lives are filled with more meaningful values and tradition. A tradition told within their art, and the tragic story of the last Bushman painter in the Dragon mountains.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49916079276305,"sku":"GOR013812847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51257254674705,"sku":"NIN9780987162267","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0987162268.jpg?v=1751141176"},{"product_id":"dance-of-the-firebirds-book-jerold-richert-9780987162212","title":"Dance of the Firebirds","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49916079210769,"sku":"GOR013812848","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0987162217.jpg?v=1751203742"},{"product_id":"operation-red-fish-book-jerold-richert-9781712681176","title":"Operation Red Fish","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53096564654353,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53096564752657,"sku":"NIN9781712681176","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781712681176.jpg?v=1770177255"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/novels-of-africa-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
