About This Item
(Cape Town: J. F. Midgley, 1977) 0620024704. Publisher's presentation inscription to title page. 8vo; original brown boards; pictorial dustwrapper with later lamination; illustrated pastedowns; pp. (xii) + 171, incl. index; photographs and monochrome illustrations. Earlier owner's name signed on front pastedown; loosely inserted press review of the book. Very good condition. "I have ... written the stories of my ancestors and my own reminiscences and have allowed myself to expand on those aspects which I believe to be of general interest and perhaps even amusement. In particular I have done my best to draw a pen picture of my beloved father, Eric Anderson Walker, as I knew him and his famous works. I have glossed over my own sadnesses and heartaches and extracted some of the more light-hearted anecdotes from the kaleidoscope of my life, referring 'pari passu' to episodes in recent and contemporary History as they have impinged on me." .
