'Readers of Joy Collier's earlier book Stellenbosch Revisited will welcome this, her latest volume. This charming book tells the story of the Mother City, its origins and its founders, and its growth to its present important status.

Portrait of Cape Town has countless entertaining anecdotes of people and events - not only those which salt the history books, but many others which the author's careful research has brought to life. Joy Collier's delightful illustrations enhance the quality of her text and spotlight the scenes and people whom she writes about.' - editor's note
