Additional Information

Well known to thousands of South Africans as a radio personality and 'quiz-kid', Eric Rosenthal has in addition over the years reached another perhaps wider audience through his work as an author and journalist. The variety and scope of his publications as impressive as his general knowledge, ranging from guidebooks and history to works on the supernatural, and he has in addition carved out for himself a unique field as an industrial historian. He was born in Cape Town, but his family soon moved to Johannesburg. Educated at PTPS and St. John's College, and at the University of the Witwatersrand, he qualified as an attorney, but his first love has always been writing, and an early start in journalism launched him on a career which has brought him a wealth of memorable and amusing experiences, which he shares with us in this autobiography. Since his childhood Eric Rosenthal has enjoyed sketching as a hobby, and the charming drawings which illustrate this book not only enliven the reminiscences they accompany but amply demonstrate yet another talent of this remarkably versatile author.
