Tales Of A Tramp : Rollicking South African Stories In Colourful Verse

Raw colourful tales of the South African landscape and lifescape evocatively presented in rumbling, tumbling verse by a man who has lived life devoid of materialism and in accordance with Nature. Jack Dewes has tramped the length and breadth of South Africa, smoking his pipe, espousing his philosophies and demonstrating an extraordinary skill at story-telling in verse. His stories will make you laugh, make you cry maybe, but make you think about those who live without the comfort of fine foods and a warm bed and yet warm to the joy of sun on their backs, the babble of brooks (and a rainbow trout poached from the Squire's private stream!) as they make their way along forest pathways to find rest in a bed of leaves and grass.. The stories presented in verse are mainly autobiographical and in the experience of the author making a thoroughly enjoyable read -something after the entertaining style of Herman Charles Bosman but wreathed in the smoke of a wise old tramp's campfire.
