Cry The Beloved Country

Cry, the Beloved Country – Alan Paton (Longman Study Texts, 1986)
A battered but serviceable copy of Alan Paton’s classic South African novel, issued as part of the Longman Study Texts series in the mid-80s. This edition comes complete with the usual helpful notes, questions, and bits of academic apparatus that generations of weary students have relied upon. Condition? Well, let’s say it’s seen better days: scuffed covers, softened corners, maybe some yellowing or underlining from a long-forgotten GCSE or A-Level slog. But the text is all present and readable, and it’ll do the job if you need it for study or nostalgia. A solid slice of Paton’s heartbreaking tale of racial injustice, wrapped in the unmistakable charm of an old classroom copy.

This is an ex-school book from Old Palace school in Croydon.
