Inhaltsangabe
The manuscript for this book was part of a private collection of Gerald Sekoto's sketches, artwork, letters, and memoirs. Though the story was clearly written and illustrated as a personal exercise and possibly a sentimental souvenir of his childhood memories, it has not been published until now.
 
A simple and playful story, this is the tale of two troublesome dogs whose thieving ways take them to the far-away town of Porcupine Hills. There they meet all sorts of interesting characters, and continue their mischief until Billy Boy is caught red-handed. He is sent to jail, where he dreams about the kindness of others and comes to realize that good deeds are the true measure of freedom.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Written and illustrated in 1973 by one of South Africa's most famous artists, Gerard Sekoto, Shorty and Billy Boy is a book for children as well as art lovers and collectors. The manuscript formed part of a private collection of Sekoto's sketches, artworks, letters and memoirs repatriated to South Africa from France. The story was clearly written and illustrated as a personal exercise and possibly a sentimental souvenir of his own childhood memories, but has not been published until now. Sekoto may well have composed it as a gift for children of friends, as he was often engaged in making greeting cards with accompanying illustrations. There are other unfinished stories and musical compositions in the estate collection, but Shorty and Billy Boy is the most complete. Shorty and Billy Boy tells the tale of two troublesome dogs whose thieving ways take them to the far-away town of Porcupine Hills. Here they meet all sorts of interesting characters, but continue their mischief until Billy Boy is caught red-handed and sent to jail. Here he dreams about the kindness of others, and comes to realise that good deeds are the true measure of freedom.The Gerard Sekoto Foundation has approved a number of editorial changes made to Sekoto's original text, where the aim has been to preserve the integrity and flavour of the unpublished story, while making it more accessible to present-day readers. The South African context of the tale has been accentuated, and obsolete language and minor inconsistencies have been removed. The result is a timeless and engaging story that retains Sekoto's unique spirit and imagination. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9781431406067
