A classic collection of 20 short stories, the core of which is formed by Alan Paton's famous first volume of short stories Debbie Go Home (1961), published in the US as Tales from a Troubled Land. The rest of the stories are taken from other sources, 10 of them from Paton's last volume, Knocking on the Door (1975). The collection is prefaced by Paton's lively interview of himself.
