This book tells the story of the intrepid Dorothea Bleek, who undertook an extraordinary journey in 1913 to a remote village in what was then Bechuanaland to investigate the language of the San, or Bushmen, living in the area. Beautifully designed and illustrated with contemporary photographs and drawings, this work forms part of a series, edited by Professor Pippa Skotnes, that records the research into the San conducted by the remarkable Bleek family.
