"In this story of the Tygerberg during his youth the reader will find much of interest about life on the farms, about the flora and fauna of the area, about the activities of the emergent Durbanville and Belville communities, which have since absorbed much of the original home farmlands, and about the various Duminy relations, both at work and play, more particularly at Blaawberg Strand."
