The pieces in this compendium are lively and entertaining, written with wit, humour and a finely tuned sense of irony.

Resembling a pudding of spicy plums, this is a perfect book for anyone interested in South Africa and its history, and in a broader appreciation of tweaking the tail of life in the past." .
