Arguably the most enduring collection of South African
short-fiction, Mafeking Road has never been out of print since its
first publication in 1947. Although Roy Campbell wrote to Herman
Charles Bosman, “I think your stories in Mafeking Road are the best
that ever came out of South Africa,” Bosman himself was not quite
happy with the text. “I was in such a hurry … that I didn’t do what
I had always intended: i.e. to restore them as far as possible to
the way they were originally, when I wrote them,” he replied. Now,
for the first time, Bosman’s stories have been restored to the
original 1930s (magazine) versions, which adds some 1 300 words of
never-before-seen Bosman-isms to the text. Added to this is Fred
Mouton’s signature style illustrations, which make this, quite
simply, the best version of Mafeking Road ever published. Bosman
would approve.
