Blue Aloes Cynthia Stockley

No writer can so unfailingly summons and materialize the spirit of the weird, mysterious South Africa as can Cynthia Stockley. She is a favored medium through whom the great Dark Continent its tales unfolds. A strange story is this, of a Karoo farm, --a hedge of Blue Aloes, a cactus of fantastic beauty, which shelters a myriad of creeping things, --a whisper and a summons in the dead of the night, --an odor of death and the old. There are three other stories in the book, stories throbbing with the sudden, intense passion and the mystic atmosphere of the Veldt. Blue AloesThe LeopardRosanne OzanneApril Fo
