QR code
"Our Little Boer Cousin" by Luna May Ennis is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a young Boer boy named Petrus Joubert, who lives in the Transvaal region of South Africa, and explores the rich culture, history, and everyday life of the Boer people. Through Petrus's adventures and interactions, readers are likely to experience the camaraderie, struggles, and traditions of this proud and resilient community.
The opening of the novel introduces Petrus as he enjoys the vibrant life of his rural surroundings. He attends farm-school, where he navigates springtime in Transvaal, befriends other Boer children, and ventures out to help his uncle with locust plagues threatening their crops. The narrative establishes a sense of community among the Boer families and hints at past conflicts with the English. In this setting, we see Petrus's close bond with his younger brother Theunis and the responsibilities he carries, suggesting themes of family, responsibility, and the trials of rural life in South Africa during this period.
