'The world of the Xhosa tribesmen is both strange and mystifying, peopled by dark and powerful forces that surround and command the Xhosa's daily life. Customs, rites, rituals, devils, water sprites and ancestral spirits make up an alien culture whose extraordinary complexity is bewildering; yet these traditions and practices, without benefit of the written word, have been transmitted for centuries from one generation to another. It is this other life, so separate from his existence as herdsman or farmer and yet so much a part of the magic world of the Xhosa, that has fascinated Aubrey Elliott for a lifetime.'
