Sobre este artículo
(Cape Town: Dirk Schwager Photographic Illustrations, 1972) 0620006889. Small 4to; original white boards, lettered in gilt to spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 96; map; profusely illustrated with largely full-colour photographs of the scenery and people. Dustwrapper somewhat edgeworn, and partially sunned; scattered, light foxing. Good condition. "Known as the 'Roof of Africa' the mountains of Lesotho are the most important watershed in southern Africa. The Maletsunyane falls at Semonkong are the highest straight drop falls in Africa and Thaba Ntlenyane is the highest mountain south of the Congo. The Basotho are the only Africans to have adapted to living part of the year in snow. In two-thirds of this rugged mountainous country horses, donkeys and light aircraft are the only means of transport. Despite this, the Basotho have the highest literacy rate of any African tribe and are known for their cheerful hospitality." .
