How it works

Register

Buchan\'s 1922 book is of particular interest to collectors of Africana for two of its stories - \"From Pretoria to the Sea\" (which relates Winston Churchill\'s escape from the prison at the Pretoria Staatsmodel school, his encounter with an armoured train and the rest of his journey to the coast) and \"Two African Journeys\". Together these make up about a sixth of book\'s total pages.
