About This Book

Roger Webster published his first volume of At the Fireside stories in 2001. It became an overnight bestseller and he went on to write three more books filled with magnificent stories from southern African. Now, more than ten years later, Roger Webster is back with another, all new volume of fireside tales of people and events that have shaped this remarkable country. The author brings to life anecdotes from the country's past, either forgotten or, perhaps, left untold as a result of political prejudice, These are tales of courage and failure, honour and greed, hope and despair, unexpected and extraordinary achievements but, ultimately, stories of real people.
