"Loaded is a collection of ten portraits, drawn in words, in which Meryl Urson depicts various Cape characters. Rather than dwell on the broader events of our time, the authoress relates her characters' personal battles - and their victories. In this collection, the Cape becomes as much a character as the people who inhabit it. For the Cape with its sleepy atmosphere, its spectrum of humanity and its astonishing beauty, was the source of inspiration for Loaded." .

What was the earliest published poem from Wodehouse's pen? Take Usborne's word as sooth on all such conundrums. This book is an open door to the world of Wodehouse." .

"'Ben die taaiste' - Ben the tough one - was the author's nickname when he was a schoolboy at Paarl and his toughness has stood him in good stead in the course of a long and adventurous life.

He served in the first World War and subsequently made a name for himself as a daring and enterprising contractor, building bridges and dams in many parts of Southern Africa. Later on in life he ventured his capital in a saw mill in the Tzitzikamma Forest,…
