A Square Deal and Other Zululand Stories – Scarce 1946 Zululand story collection published in Pietermaritzburg—an appealing Africana title with original (worn) dust jacket.
2 in stock
A scarce and evocative collection of mid-20th century South African storytelling, A Square Deal and Other Zululand Stories by G. K. Moberly offers a vivid glimpse into life, culture, and narrative traditions rooted in Zululand. Published in Pietermaritzburg in 1946 by Shuter & Shooter, this work holds strong appeal for collectors of Africana, KwaZulu-Natal history, and regional literature.
The striking dust jacket artwork—though now heavily worn—captures the dramatic tone of the stories within, reflecting the period’s stylised depiction of African life and folklore. Moberly’s writing preserves a snapshot of colonial-era perspectives and storytelling, making A Square Deal and Other Zululand Stories an interesting and collectible piece for those studying South African literary history.
Early Shuter & Shooter publications, particularly those tied to KwaZulu-Natal, remain sought-after in the Africana market, especially when retaining original jackets. Despite condition issues, this copy retains its collectible value due to its age, regional significance, and relative scarcity.
The dust jacket is in poor condition, with heavy wear, tearing, and loss, particularly along the spine and edges. The spine is faded. The front hinge is damaged, and the binding is slightly loose, though the text block remains intact. General age-related wear and light foxing are present. A fair but complete reading and collectible copy.
