YEOMEN OF THE KAROO

Laminated hard covers, pp. 350, illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs. A Fine copy.

From the Introduction: "The Deelfontein saga, like a piece of fine needlepoint embroidery, is a fascinating pot-pourri of courage, bravery, adventure, discovery, superior care, medical breakthroughs, minor miracles and, merciful acts, spiced with a kaleidoscope of pride, passion and undying love. It is a rich, colourful story, with a tweak at the end. The mix includes hints of the Nobel Prize, an unsolved murder and fairies. These crumbling ruins, the pompous arch, and cemetries are the curators of a huge slice of South African history with international appeal."
