About Item: (Plumstead, Chameleon Press, 1991). Illustrated by Frances Kuttel Keegan. 4to; laminated pictorial boards; bumped at corners; silk marker; pp. 112; black-and-white photographs, pencil drawings and colour sketches in text. Good condition. "The West Coast - long forgotten corner of the Cape's rich heritage of flowers and birdlife - is being rediscovered. In Ganzekraal: A West Coast Year, Mary Melck Kuttel describes an idyllic Edwardian childhood immersed in the flowers and country traditions of one of the great West Coast farms. Month by month, she unfolds the history of a family and their remarkable Cape Dutch home - at the same time providing a calendar of the seasons which still holds good today. Daughter Frances Keegan's charming colour sketches complete a book that is at once an Edwardian country diary and a guide to the joy of the West Coast's floral riches." .
