H. Rider (Henry Rider) Haggard
Cetywayo and his White Neighbours
Remarks on Recent Events in Zululand, Natal, and the Transvaal
"Cetywayo and his White Neighbours" by H. Rider Haggard is a non-fiction work published in 1882. Based on Haggard's six years working in South Africa, this book examines recent events in Zululand, Natal, and the Transvaal, centering on the Zulu king Cetshwayo kaMpande. Haggard's first full-length published work required extensive research through government Blue-books to ensure accuracy. Though praised by prominent figures, it initially sold poorly, moving only 154 copies by 1883.
