This signed first edition of ’Til The Cows Come Home by Dr. Tod Collins is a scarce and highly collectible piece of modern South African regional literature. Published in 2010 by Triple Creek Publishing, the book presents a vivid tapestry of life in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and Underberg regions through a series of humorous, poignant, and deeply authentic short stories drawn from the author’s experiences as a country veterinarian and mountaineer.
Dr. Tod Collins captures the spirit of rural South Africa with warmth, wit, and remarkable observational detail. The stories within ’Til The Cows Come Home feature cattle farmers, remote mountain communities, veterinary emergencies, eccentric rural personalities, livestock theft, conservation encounters, and the realities of life in isolated farming districts beneath the Drakensberg Mountains. Collins’ storytelling balances humour and pathos, creating a memorable portrait of South African country life that resonates strongly with readers familiar with the Midlands, Underberg, Himeville, and surrounding farming regions.
’Til The Cows Come Home is especially desirable as a true first edition and signed by the author on the title page in December 2010, shortly after publication. Signed regional Africana titles from smaller KwaZulu-Natal publishers are increasingly difficult to source, particularly in well-preserved condition. The book will appeal to collectors of Africana, South African memoirs, veterinary literature, rural narratives, and KwaZulu-Natal regional history.
An excellent addition to any Africana collection or South African country-life library, and an especially appealing title for readers with ties to farming, veterinary practice, or the Drakensberg region.
