Daniël Lötter soek geeste en gedaantes op, besoek spookhuise en vertel meer oor sieners en legendes wat Suid-Afrikaners reeds jare lank laat kopkrap.
Maak kennis met die heks van Hexrivier, die seemonsters van die ou Kaap en Antjie Somers. Jacoba Marais, Japie Roux en Marie van der Post is van die minder bekende sieners, maar natuurlik bly Johanna Brandt en Siener van en Rensburg nie agterweë nie.
Waarom spook 'n skoorsoekerige goewerneur, 'n koninklike kleinseun en 'n gewetenlose moordernaar ewe vlytig as Daisy de Melker, sr. Henrietta Stockdale en lady Anne Barnard? En wat is dit met dwaalligte en spookfoto's?
AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS
SURVIVED THOUSANDS. 'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy .
. . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes
life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales' OBSERVER
'Stephen Fry has done it again. Well written and super
storytelling' 5***** READER REVIEW ________ 'Troy. The most
marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean.
Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice .
. .' When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the
Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.

of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . . In
Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY
will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.
