'This work throws sidelights on little-known history and native customs, making many piquant disclosures. It tells, amongst other thrilling items, of the renowned Queen Majatje, Sir Rider Haggard's "She," of a high-priestess of fecundity, of witch doctors, a witch, a red devil, native symbolisms, sacred beads, a royal kaross, old trade routes . . . . more exciting than fiction.' - editor's note
