Description

Johannesburg.: Christian Literature Depot, No date. Apparently first published in 1920, now a classic. All pages and edges browned, gilt title on spine has been re-worked by hand. Gives a fascinating insight into the life on a Great Karoo farm in the 19th century. Life experiences (from 1863 to 1920) are brought within feeling and smelling range through the author’s extraordinary powers of observation,reflection and description, his attention to detail, his thoughts about the environment and ecology decades before ecosystems was ever a buzzword, his enviable command of English,and his ability literally to turn into poetry some of his thoughts about both the mundane and the profound as he brings to us his ‘revelation’ of the Great Karroo.” Errata slip, 320 pages, 8 b&w photog plates.. Hard Cover Greenish Cloth.. Very Good in Plastic/None. 224X32p41mm .
