With the general public H.C.Bosman's short stories have enjoyed wide popularity. Among people who have made a study of the short story there have been those who have declared of H.C.Bosman's work in this field that it merits not unworthy comparison with the work of some of the world's masters in the art of the short story.
Each of the stories here presented is identified with the central character, Oom Scalk Lourens, an old Boer farmer, who has seen all the way into life, but whose experiences have not embittered him; and who retains, in spite of the rigidities of his Calvanistic outlook and background, and in spite of all his narrow backveld prejudices(and he has them in good measure), a warm kindliness of disposition, irradiating the stories he tells with a sincere and strangely moving humanity.
