'For the first time in one volume, the complete sequence of Bosman's "In die Voorkamer" sketches. Published to a weekly deadline over 1950 - 51 as hilarious satires of the issues of the day ... These deft conversation pieces, set in Jurie Steyn's backveld Marico post office, raise the art of idle talk to a level unequalled in South African humour.'--Back cover.
