Summary: A fairly representative example of about a dozen of books which describe the daily "farming life" from a settler's point of view, having its value mainly as a source and as a contribution to the writing of social history "from above". There is a rather detailed description of the farm (18,000 hectares), the household and the work by the domestic servants and the garden workers. The photos are documents in their own right, and so are the paternalistic language and the racial stereotypes employed by the author. (Eriksen/ Moorsom 1989)
