Pietermaritzburg, the capital of Natal, celebrates its Centenary this year(1938). In six vivid chapters, Professor Hattersley tells the story of this African town, displaying with penetrating analysis the modes and manners of a Victorian society in a land remote from Victorian England.
But the book is not merely the story of a city's growth. It is also an imaginative reconstruction of an age, warmed by the writer's obvious affection for his subject and by deep understanding of the social background.A brillant book which gives an unforgettable impression of life in an African Colony.
