Grow Lovely, Growing Old is a well-known book by the prolific South African journalist and author Lawrence G. Green (1900-1972). First published in 1951 by H. Timmins, the book is a historical and descriptive account of Cape Town, South Africa. Green was known for his engaging, anecdotal style, and this book is no exception. It is not a dry academic history, but rather a collection of stories, legends, traditions, and folklore. He aims to "recapture the atmosphere of the Cape in those far off days." This is a first edition book, in good condition.
