Selkirk of the Fethan

Malcolm Archibald

From tedious blockhouse duty, Selkirk’s Reivers take on another dangerous mission, and come against an irregular outlaw band, as well as Boer bitter-enders. Peace comes, and Selkirk returns to Scotland, where events take surprising turns, before resolving his tangled personal life with a peaceful and charming end to the story.
