The Little Karoo

Jose Burman
Published by Human & Rousseau, 1981
ISBN 10: 079811214X / ISBN 13: 9780798112147
'Jose Burman has given us a book with a difference: it is not a guide but it takes you round the valley; it is not a history but it tells the story of the Little Karoo, and the passes that cross its mountains. It also tells the story of ostriches, the saga that brought immense wealth to the Little Karoo, and great tragedy. For the Little Karoo is the real home of these long-legged birds - 95 per cent of the world's ostriches now live there. There are fascinating chapters on the rise (and fall) of the ostrich-towns, the Cango Caves and extensions (by one who has been intimately connected with the Caves for over 25 years), and the mysterious valley of "Die Hel". This is a book that brings a little-known part of the country to life - a book you will enjoy reading, and a valley you will want to visit.'.
