About This Item
(Cape Town: A. A. Balkema, 1958). 8vo; original green rexine, lettered in gilt on spine and upper cover; tinted top edge; pp. 76; frontis. portrait. Slightest bump to top fore-corner; some spotting to endpapers and edges. Very good condition. "This book is not meant as a biography in the ordinary sense, but as a picture of that vanished South Africa in which I had the privilege of spending my early days. Since I have always enjoyed telling stories - and have been lucky enough to be asked for more by my listeners - I have this time gone all out and talked about many things one normally overlooks - food, drink and daily life in the old-time Backveld. My friend, Eric Rosenthal, who has 'pumped' me and put the story into shape, deserves my particular thanks." .
