Louis Leipoldt, one of South Africa's best-known men of letters, qualified as a doctor in 1907. After practising in and around London, he returned to South Africa in 1914 to become Chief Medical Inspector of Schools in the Transvaal. This book was the result of his experiences in that post. Not only does he discuss the medical aspects of his job, but in Leipoldt fashion, he also discusses the flora, fauna, politics and people he encountered, thus allowing us a glimpse of those who inhabited what was one of the most isolated parts of South Africa.
