Project Gutenberg 2010-06-19 Public domain in the USA. 86 Mitford, Bertram 1855 1914 A Veldt Vendetta Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "A Veldt Vendetta" by Bertram Mitford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with Kenrick Holt, a character who feels isolated and friendless, embarking on a journey that leads him from a mundane desk job in England to the vibrant and perilous landscapes of South Africa. The initial chapters hint at themes of adventure, survival, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of colonial life. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Kenrick Holt's dissatisfaction with urban life and his yearning for change. His planned retreat to the countryside gets thwarted by the cancellation of a visit to a brother, prompting him to seek adventure elsewhere. After a foggy mishap at sea, which results in a near-drowning incident, he finds himself aboard a ship headed for East London, South Africa, without any real intention of going there. From the moment he arrives, Kenrick is thrust into an unfamiliar world, where he faces cultural contrasts and unexpected friendships, notably with the Matterson family, who will likely play pivotal roles in his unfolding story. The stage is set for further exploration of identity, adventure, and the challenges that accompany his new life in an exotic and untamed land.
