I Heard The Old Men Say

I Heard The Old Men Say is a long and satisfying work in which Lawrence Green uncovers the life and secrets of the Cape Peninsula that has vanished. This entirely new book is in the same vein as his famous Tavern of the Seas, a record best-seller for many years. Some of the vivid and authentic narratives in this book comes from the distant past, but the author has drawn largely from the interesting period which is still on the fringe of living memory. It is a dramatic story, a wide sweep of events, which Lawrence Green presents. Always he avoids the themes that have been dealt with by other writers. His episodes have the freshness which can only be achieved by personal interviews with many old people. Lawrence Green rings up the curtain on scenes that live before the reader, true stories full of contrast and anecdote. This wealth of unpublished material unites at last into a fascinating panorama that will leave the reader deeply impressed.
