A scarce 1965 first edition of Fireside Tales of the Hare and His Friends by Phyllis Savory, illustrated by Jillian Hulme and published by Howard Timmins, Cape Town. This charming collection brings together nineteen traditional African fireside tales drawn from Xhosa, Zulu, Tswana, Kikuyu, Bemba and Nyasa folklore, centred on the clever and mischievous hare.
Bound in the original orange cloth boards, this copy remains solid and attractive despite the absence of the dust jacket. The spine lettering is still clear and the binding is sound. Fireside Tales of the Hare and His Friends contains 92 pages and includes delightful period illustrations by Jillian Hulme.
Condition – Very Good
Hardcover without dust jacket. Orange cloth boards show moderate fading and light wear. Spine remains legible. Endpapers are heavily discoloured from age and offsetting, but the text pages are otherwise clean and the binding remains firm and sound.
