Kampstories
By C. Louis Leipoldt
Cover: A South African landscape by Frans Oerder (1867-1944) · Wikimedia Commons · Public domain
Eleven tales that Leipoldt told to the younger children at South African school camps and later sent out into the world unchanged. They range from a Bushman legend of a blind hunter and the stories of old Abdoel in his Cape Malay shop to clever animals, a naughty boy, a sorry ghost and the reasons why the sea weeps and where the rainbow comes from. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
