Author: SAINT-MANDE, WILFRED.
Title: Halcyon Days In Africa.
Description: First Edition; Demy 8vo; pp. 340; bound in original green cloth, title lettered in gilt on spine, inscription on front endpaper, good copy. London; Eric Partridge Ltd.; 1934. "This novel depicts incidentally the evils wrought in South Africa by a stupid, short-sighted, malevolent nationalism that brought the country to the verge of bankruptcy and civil war. After a reign of nine years (1924-1933), the Nationalist Government agreed to a Coalition rather than face inevitable defeat at the polls. Such a step heralded, no doubt, the dawn of a brighter day for that distracted country."
