Chris Marais and Julienne du Toit went to the beach in South Africa and stayed there for more than two months, travelling all the way from Alexander Bay to Kosi Bay. They dug into history and legend, met all sorts of colourful coast-dwellers, and captured slices of life in South Africa’s seaside towns and cities. Their lavish photographs and lively anecdotes cover a range of coastal topics, including shark cage-diving, polo estates, penguin antics, shipwrecks, whale-watching, Wild Coast beach-hiking, township life and the wonders of the St Lucia Wetland complex. Meet the people they come across, in the pages of Coast to Coast. Share the good light with them. Feel the heat. Stick your toe in two oceans, throw back your head and laugh like no-one’s watching. Sometimes, life just is a bowl of oysters…

About the product These are the first two volumes in the'African Hunting Reprint Series.'Text facsimile reprint of the two-volume John Murray 2nd edition of 1850, with a new introduction by Professor James A. Casada. Two 8vo volumes; original brown boards with gilt lettering to spine, and gilt elephant device to upper board in each case; pictorial dustwrappers; pp. xvii + xv + (i) + 388, (iv) + 381; plates, + route map in first volume. Dustwrappers slightly rubbed and edgeworn; a little foxing to endpapers, edges and reverse of dustwrappers, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Very good condition.'A particularly fine example of Victorian sporting literature, the book was markedly successful and ran to many editions. Gordon-Cumming writes of his hunting expedition which started from Grahamstown in October 1843 and which took him through countryside teeming with game -"not with herds, but with'one vast herd'of springboks; as far as the eye could strain."- to the Orange River and Griqualand West where he met Oswell, and, at Kuruman, Robert Moffat and, soon after, David Livingstone. He appears to have hunted every species of South African fauna and to have indulged himself in the sport to an extent almost unique even amongst the mighty hunters of Africa. The narrative is valuable for its description of the country and its inhabitants, and for its zoological and botanical notes.'
