Nancy’s mother, Nancy Brooks
was 16 when she joined her
father on a cargo ship for
a six-month sea voyage despite
warnings from a gypsy fortune
teller of a waiting peril.
On the long six-month journey
her mother kept a diary and
logbooks as well as many letters.
What happened on that
voyage is told in The Skipper’s
Daughter.
Set in Hermanus, Socrates and the
Lighthouse on the Square is a book
of wisdom and hope that highlights
the resilience of the human spirit.
The fable, whimsically illustrated, is an
anthropomorphic reflection of human
emotions and characteristics onto a cast
of animals, with the protagonist being
a handsome seagull, Socrates.
The book appeals to all ages and
can be enjoyed as a work of fiction,
philosophy, or one of inspiration.
The Southern Writers group started in
2000 and has produced four books so
far, the latest being From the South
(2022) from which members will read.
In addition a couple of comic stories
written recently will be added.
Participating members: Mike Brownlee,
Sal Carter, Penny Charteris, Sheila Craul,
Dave Crawford, Robert Everdene,
Margaret Loesch, Avis Macintyre,
Carol Stephen, Pamela Williams.
Produced by Penny Charteris, assisted
by Gerard Verh.
