“The heart of the Namaqualand, where time had been frozen in the eloquence of old-world style and a boisterous elegance, is found in the eclectic little town of Kamieskroon, next to the N7 highway, that busy artery that leads from Cape Town to Namibia. This small town, with its timeless architecture, is peopled by real characters that give new meaning to being real and down-to-earth human beings. No artificial ‘bling’ here.”

Oswald Rall Theart starts his Kamieskroon meander down this country Yellow Brick Road with this type of  description of  an exquisite little universum he found here. The book is painted through with the same kind of  earthy, unpretentious tales, and promises a good, humorous read.
