The Monkeyfolk of South Africa

Excerpt from The Monkeyfolk of South AfricaThis book is the first of a series which I hope in due time to have published.The monkeys are at the' head of the sub-human animal kingdom, so I have taken them first.Each group Of animals will be dealt with in turn, until a complete history of the animals of South Africa has been produced.This volume is written mostly in the form of anecdotes. The animals are made to tell their own stories.By adopting this style I hope to interest the minds of our boys and girls, and at the same time to present all that is known to science about the ways and habits Of the animals of South Africa.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
