A charming and scarce wartime-era South African publication, A Settler’s Scribblings in South Africa by Leonard Flemming offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into settler life in mid-20th century South Africa. This 1945 ninth edition was privately published by the author in Bloemfontein, adding to its collectability and regional historical appeal.
A Settler’s Scribblings in South Africa is illustrated with whimsical line drawings and written in a light, anecdotal style, making it appealing to collectors of Africana, colonial history, and vintage humour writing.
This example retains its original boards and binding, though the spine has been neatly repaired. Internally, the book shows foxing consistent with age, and there is a period gift inscription dated Christmas 1945, enhancing its authenticity and provenance.
A desirable addition for collectors of South African literature, Bloemfontein imprints, or privately published works.
