'This is without doubt one of the best books ever written about the Cederberg- and a love story told by one of South Africa's best storytellers. In the long are of South Africa's storytelling, few figures have contributed as singularly and indelibly to our sense of place as Peter Slingsby ... this book is not a dispassionate guide- it's a personal, passionate reckoning with a place that has defined much of the author's personal essays, interviews and trail notes ... and it's puntuated by superb photograph.
