"People were invited by the National Council of Women to submit their reminiscences of life in the early days of Johannesburg, and this is the result: a book describing the city as it is remembered by early Johannesburgers, in their own words. It contains some delightful anecdotes, full of human interest, and describes what life was like for the people: horse-drawn trams, slop carts, ice blocks, tea in the country at the Orange Grove Hotel, the first radios, Halley's Comet, snow and much more. The book sums up the romance, and hardships, of a bygone era and will prove nostalgic reading for early citizens, and fascinating for those who did not know Johannesburg in the beginning." - Google books
