500			_aThe cover illustration, which depicts a river with a swimming moose and three people, one swimming and two in a canoe, seems to go with some other book. The same illustration was used for a Collins printing of "The cruise of the Midge" by Michael Scott, where it was also a mismatch with the subject matter of the book. It's unclear what book it was originally intended for.

520			_a"The Kopje Farm" by William Johnston is a novel likely written in the early 20th century, set against the backdrop of the South African conflict commonly known as the Boer War. The story follows Jack Lovat, a young lad from a Scottish farming family who has settled in South Africa, depicting his experiences and the challenges faced by his family on their ostrich farm as tensions rise with the Boer commandos. The narrative promises themes of bravery, loyalty, and the impact of war on rural life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jack Lovat, who is worried about his father’s late return from a nearby town where he went to deposit money. As Jack and his native foreman, Pete, engage in their daily chores on the farm, Jack expresses a desire to join the fight against the Boers despite his father’s disapproval. The atmosphere thickens with tension when a warning about a Boer commando in the area reaches them. Jack resolves to defend their farm, and the ensuing action sets the stage for a struggle that tests the resolve of Jack and those around him as they prepare for possible confrontation. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a riveting tale of conflict and resilience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
