The background is Africa, most of the contributions having been selected from the pens of authors who are among Southern Africa's most famous writers. To avoid the charge of excessive parochialism others whose names are known wherever the English word is read, are also included."

Hodson, Uys Krige, Sir Harry Luke, Sarah Gertrude Millin, Alan Paton, William Plomer, Eric Rosenthal, William Samson, F. Carey Slater, L. A. G.
