Jock of the Bushveld

Jock of the Bushveld, published in 1907, has been read and enjoyed by millions of children and is now a classic among animal stories. It remains as fresh and exciting as it was when it was first written and is dedicated by Fitzpatrick to those keenest and kindest of critics, best of friends and most delightful of comrades the likkle people!

Jocks owner was a young transport rider in the rugged and colourful days of the Transvaal gold rush. Those were the days when big game roamed the land and each sunrise brought a new adventure.

The story of the bull terrier who shared his masters life on the veld has been illustrated with lively sketches by Edmund Caldwell.
