Sundays: Tales from a Winding River

Original price was: R99,00.Current price is: R79,00.

Bartle Logie, together with his wife Caryl, in this the sixth book in his series of historical travelogues through the Eastern Cape region of South Africa, undertakes a fascinating and informative journey along the course of the Sundays River, from its sources in the mountains north of Graaff-Reinet to the sea.
Their journey takes them from the top of the Lootsberg to the town of Graaff-Reinet, across the vast and arid plains to Jansenville, over the Zuurberg mountains into Kirkwood and The Valley, famous for its citrus orchards and mighty elephants, to the sand dunes of Algoa Bay.

In his inimitable story-telling style, Bartle recounts many a fascinating tale of people and places associated with the Sundays River, the waters of which form a common thread as it winds its way through their lives and events. And it is the water, too, that has been the focus of so many man-made changes in the environment of the river.
The book is well illustrated with historical photographs.

Travellers’ Tales

Published on 2023
Original price was: R109,00.Current price is: R89,00.
“For the greater part of our lives Caryl and I have travelled the roads and walked the veld of the Eastern Cape. Both of our fathers were born here, Caryl’s in Cala in what was the then Transkei, and mine on a farm just west of Port Alfred in what was then the Lower Albany District. “During our travels we have met with shop-keepers and shepherds, labourers and lay-abouts, conservationists and con-men, farmers and financiers and many more. Some make an appearance in the pages of this book.” This is how adventurer, historian and raconteur Bartle Logie introduces this, his 11th Eastern/Western Cape travel book. However, in true Bartle fashion, you can be assured that it is not only people, interesting as they are, who appear in the book, but special places, events, plants and animals. Behind every story is meticulous research, both the desk- bound and real on-the-ground varieties - Bartle Logie hallmarks. The trusty trio - Bartle, Caryl and the Isuzu bakkie - continue to criss-cross this wonderful region to keep us entertained with its history, people and spectacular beauty.

Tales from an Unmapped Country

Original price was: R99,00.Current price is: R79,00.
“I have an idea,” said Kain. “You must go and visit my old village. Because why? Because you are always travelling and talking to people. When you come back you will be able to tell me the truth, but not to hurt my heart. You will tell me and I will be pleased to hear, but I don’t want to go there again myself, it will make my heart too sore.” Both journeys offer up wonderful insights into places and people, and into the persona and character of the author.
