About This Item
(Highflats: Maxann Books, 1984) 0620076623. Signed by the author on the title page. Squarish 8vo; original brown rexine, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xii + 98, incl. index; line drawings and photographs in text; colour plates; map. Lightest wear to dustwrapper. Very good condition. "The reasons for writing this book: it covers a part of Natal which has been neglected regarding historical research. The Ixopo area came into the limelight briefly when Alan Paton's Cry the Beloved Country was filmed here. Descendants of 1820 Settlers live in the region, also those of Dick King who owned a farm near Ixopo. There are others who have as their forebears Henry Francis Fynn and Henry Ogle, notable pioneers of Natal. Cecil John Rhodes began his new life in South Africa in this district. Most accounts of his illustrious career begin after he went to Kimberley." .
