DIAMOND DYKE or the Lone Farm on the Veldt illustrated by William Henry Boucher

 William Henry Boucher (1837 - 1906). Little is known about his work. I know that he illustrated the following books: THE REBEL COMMODORE by D. Lawson Johnstone, THE PARADISE OF THE NORTH by the same author, VANISHED by David Ker and THE LOST TRADER. All books published by W. & R. CHAMBERS, LIMITED, LONDON AND EDINBURGH, 1895.

 



 

 The huge beast faced the boy, with head erect and tail lashing.



Dyke gave his whip a wish through the air.

Jack seized the mane and trotted off beside the horse.

Keeping a watchful eye the while upon the lion.

"Ach! das is goot. Howyou vas, mein bube?

The boy asked himself what he ought to do next.

Followed by a loud yell.

"Mein craciuos!" cried the old man again.
