William Papas and Aubrey Sussens take the reader on a haphazard jaunt around Cape Town, stopping at out-of-the-way places to record momentary impressions or to transcribe an eavesdropped conversation. It is a presentation of Cape Town as seen by two comparative strangers from the Transvaal who were drawn to the Cape by its warmhearted, white-gabled friendliness. Papas has attempted with his drawings to get between the covers of a book the history-soaked atmosphere of the city while Sussens has contributed legends and anecdotes to bring to life the personality and the personalities of a city three centuries old." .
