Signed by Walton on a preliminary page.


Walton traces the development of folk building throughout South Africa, including the corbelled beehives of the Northern Cape. "He has followed the opening up of the country and describes the homesteads which characterise each region. Ornate gabled houses, fortified frontier homesteads, hardbieshuise and even the kakabeenwa…. The interior of the house… also provides a rich store of surviving folk culture."
