Vrouw Grobelaar and Her Leading Cases (1906)
by Perceval Gibbon
Unto the Third Generation
→
Edition: New York: Mcclure, Phillips & Co., 1906. "Tales from the Veldt"

An unlettered but vastly wise old Boer woman tells the stories at her own hearthside, mostly in rebuke of an untoward generation growing up about her. ... on the whole "Vrouw Grobelaar" presents the most gripping and vision-enlarging group of stories since Kipling's "Plain Tales from the Hills."

:Almost without exception the critics praise the book. The Brooklyn Times says of it: "It is many years since fiction of such unusual quality has appeared." The Boston Herald believes that that "the author's work has earned him the title of 'the Kipling of the Kraal.'" ... The Washington Star, however, is of the opinion that "were it not for the humorous touches which Mr. Gibbon adds to his text it would be too uniformly gruesome to be acceptable. —From The Literary Digest, 12 May 1906.
