“This is a book that reveals the history of South Africa’s Mother City – captivating, picturesque, and downright spooky – that rests on the long-forgotten bones of the people who made it....This wonderfully illustrated book describes the processes of discovery, retrieval and possession within an enchanting framework of empathic scholarship.” Carmel Schrire
