Valley of the Vines

by Joy Packer

Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1955, hardcover

Very Good Condition, a little edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing to edges and corners, a little rubbing to covers and spine, no inscriptions, no dust-jacket (see photographs)

"Dieu Donne, a beautiful name, a beautiful home ringed by the graceful mountains and priceless vineyards of Constantia Valley, in the Cape Peninsula of South Africa.  Dieu Donne, a home which is the seat of the courageous and pioneering de Valois family, the cornerstone of the strong, civilised tradition they had brought from France generations before."
