    About this audiobook

    Frederick Cornell (May 6, 1867 - March 6, 1921) was an English soldier, geologist, prospector and author born in Devon, England, and educated at the Bedford School. In 1902, he moved to South Africa and served at Lieutenant with the South African Native Labour Corps during World War I. His short stories, considered to be among South Africa's finest, include this tale from his surreal experiences living among the bushmen.
