First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth lettered and lined in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. With a frontispiece, five plates, and two fold-out maps. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Complete with the original dustwrapper that is a touch rubbed to upper edges and with a small nick to the lightly faded spine.

This study of the Mandari, "a cattle-keeping people of the Southern Sudan" was, as the author explains in the preface, researched "during eighteen months spent among [them] between 1950 and 1952, and a short visit of a month in 1958".
