Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Every-Day Life in South Africa
End me another letter soon, wrote a friend to me. Your last was so interesting; it tells so many things one cannot find in books.
This first suggested to me the idea of writing about those little things which travellers generally either do not notice or do not think it worth while to describe and yet, if we want to make a new place our home, it is just those that we would like to know about, for the little every-day items have much more in?uence on our comfort and happiness than have the great things of the world.
Names of persons, where mentioned, are of course fictitious, but everything else is truthfully stated. Where information has been received from others, it has always been from those on whose veracity dependence could be placed.
