Cetywayo and His White Neighbours

Cetywayo and His White Neighbours, or Remarks on Recent Events in Zululand, Natal and the Transvaal is an 1882 non-fiction book by H. Rider Haggard, his first full-length published work.

It was based on his time working in South Africa.

[1] The "Cetywayo" of the title is the Zulu king Cetshwayo kaMpande.

I was determined that it should be accurate, and to ensure this I purchased all the Blue-books dealing with the period of which I was treating.

The book had some good reviews and Haggard received letters of praise from such figures as Lord Carnarvon and Randolph Churchill but by 1883 had only sold 154 copies, meaning he lost his fifty pounds.
