1 in stock
When the Slave Bell Tolled by V. M. FitzRoy is a compelling work of historical fiction set against the backdrop of the Cape during the era of slavery. Published by Howard Timmins in Cape Town in 1970, this evocative narrative explores the human stories, tensions, and cultural landscape of early South African colonial life.
This copy is signed by the author on the title page, adding collectible appeal. The original dust jacket is present but heavily worn with significant loss, while the book itself remains internally clean and well-preserved. Please note a pronounced musty odour, typical of long-stored vintage books.
When the Slave Bell Tolled is a desirable addition for collectors of Africana, Cape history, and South African literature, particularly those seeking signed editions.
The dust jacket is heavily worn with notable loss, especially along the top edge and spine, and shows rubbing and surface damage. The boards are in good condition overall. Internally clean with no major defects noted. Signed by the author on the title page. There is a distinct musty smell present.
