Cetywayo and His White Neighbours
''Cetywayo and His White Neighbours, or Remarks on Recent Events in Zululand, Natal and the Transvaal'' is a 1882 non-fiction book by H. Rider Haggard, his first full-length published work. It was based on his time working in South Africa.〔R. D. Mullen, ("The Books of H. Rider Haggard: A Chronological Survey" ) ''Science Fiction Studies'', # 16, Volume 5, Part 3, November 1978] accessed 13 December 2013〕 The "Cetywayo" of the title is the Zulu king Cetshwayo kaMpande.
==Background==
Haggard had worked for six years in South Africa. He wrote the book at Norwood in 1881 while also studying for the Bar. He later said it "represented a great amount of labour. I was determined that it should be accurate, and to ensure this I purchased all the Blue-books dealing with the period of which I was treating."〔(H. Rider Haggard, ''The Days of My Life'' Chapter 9 ) accessed 21 December 2013〕
He sent it off to various publishers and only received one offer – from Trubner and Company, who offered to produce 750 copies if Haggard gave them fifty pounds. The author did so.
