Daar woon ‘n feetjie by elke soort Kaapse fynbos, en hier stel Antjie Krog hulle op haar unieke manier aan ons voor. Hulle werk en speel, hulle sorg vir die fynbos of maak gemors. Hulle lag, slaap, droom … dis ‘n besige lewe vir ‘n gemiddelde fynbosfeetjie in die veld. Fiona Moodie se asemrowende illustrasies is almal plantkundig akkuraat geteken.
