Re reading this wonderful book. I bought my copy in 1965, was 11 years old and it certainly had a lasting influence on my life. Harry is famous for killing a lion that attacked him, with what is best described as a butchers knife.

Agree great book!

It's a great book. I've read it a few times and will do again.

South Africa gave us Wolhuter -- and "Jock of the Bushveld," two magnificent contributions to human civilization!

Agreed!

Thanks gentlemen - on the strength of this thread, I bought a copy of the book, and just finished reading it. An excellent read!
