THE COOPER FAMILY IN AFRICA

A PEEP INTO MY LIFE – WILLIAM EASTWOOD

Mary Drabbe tells of how her grandfather’s book, written 82 years previously, was given a new lease on life. A book she could market and any profit between printing costs, and the selling price, was hers. “It is a piece of colonial history that I believe should not be lost. It is also representative of the writing style of the time. The text has been captured in the way in which it was written, as an example of the language and style of that era. To enhance the story, photographs, relevant information, and foot-notes have been added. This could only have been done with hindsight, research and of course the Internet. This text is shown in italics in indented sections that have been supplied by the editor. My thanks must go to Jenny Els, my editor, publisher, advisor, and friend rolled into one, for her patience, her enthusiasm, her wisdom, and her knowledge, which she has shared readily, in producing and editing this memoir. Without her, the rebirth of A Peep Into My Life, would probably never have seen the light of day.” For more information please visit the The Heritage Portal
