"Anyone visiting these hills will find this book an excellent reference. Reading it beforehand will help in interpreting the figures and symbols and in understanding the spiritual beliefs of the Stone Age hunter-gatherers who painted them. The work is a must for anyone really interested in Bushman paintings."
