Joyce Bergvelt’s Reviews > Man of Constantia: A biographical novel on the life of Simon van der Stel > Status Update

I got a 2nd hand copy of this book, as I am particularly interested in Simon van der Stel, one of the earlier governors of The Cape in South Africa. With the outdated sources historiën Picard had at his disposal in the early seventies, he wrote this rather fanciful, romantisized biographical novel on Van der Stel. I stopped reading when I realized how outdated his sources were.
