Ripping yarn set
in literary world
hits the mark
ROB KNOWLES
In an epic story of a master forger
and the criminality of the literary
world, Kleinemonde author Rod
McGregor tells a tale that takes us all
over Europe and exposes a world of
conspiracy, theft and dirty deals in
Librarians and other Criminals.
Viv Sevenster is a book dealer
whose father, along with others, had
built an entire industry established
for forging old works of literature.
Now Viv is presented with a
challenge, to forge copies of Galileo’s
old journals. In the process he meets
up with the mysterious and lovely
Wiske who also has a dark
connection with the world of
forgeries and soon the pair find
themselves in an international
conspiracy that leaves them and the
readers’ heads spinning.
Told through the eyes of his main
character, Sevenster, McGregor
opens the story in the Netherlands.
It is obvious that McGregor has a
detailed knowledge of each of the
areas he writes about, and the first
chapters are written in such detail
that anyone reading them could
probably become a tour guide in
Amsterdam. His eye for detail is
impeccable and, having researched a
few of the McGregor anecdotal
asides, he is spot-on with his
historical facts as well.
Reading the book is an education
in itself and it is clear that McGregor
is a well-travelled man. But his
knowledge of the book trade is also
right up there, and his descriptions
on how new forgeries are made to
appear ancient, and to fool the
so-called experts, is quite
extraordinar y.
But the book is really a love story
LITERARY CRIMINALS: ‘Librarians
and other Criminals’, is a tale of
the underbelly of the literary world
and takes the reader all around
Europe and elsewhere with hero,
Viv Sevenster
and a journey of self-discovery on the
part of main character Sevenster.
Initially a very orderly person,
Sevenster is forced to reassess his
life and his goals, particularly in light
of his growing fondness for Wiske,
who is also involved with the literary
underworld.
This is the first book of a trilogy,
and fans can look forward to the next
book in the series.
Librarians and other Criminals is
recommended to anyone who enjoys
a good adventure that is both well
written and provides such detail that
it makes Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci
Code seem tame by comparison.

Boarding houses in the village
A very interesting boarding house, set almost at
the top of the Wesley Hill, is a familiar sight to
many of us who live in Port Alfred.
In fact, if you stare at the now more “modern
version”, you can clearly see the outlines of this
landmark building.
Constructed circa 1929, cresting the very sandy
hill, it was a popular place for travellers on
horseback and in wagons.
The inundation of people to Port Alfred in those
times were attracted by the activity of harbour
works, railroad, trade in allied businesses, as well
as others in the form of soldiers, and settlers who
were disenchanted with farming. This naturally
increased the need for temporary accommodation
in which to contain the flow. Records show an
amazing collection of inns, hotels, and boarding
houses dotted around the village.
Skipping a generation, the hype was known at
one stage as “G r a h a m st o w n - by - t h e - s e a ”.
Having examined the structure some 20 years
ago, there were, and still are, visible signs of the
old building, beautifully maintained – even to the

remarkable replacement, so the previous owner
thought, of some second-hand windows that were
for sale on a farm nearby. When he brought them
back to begin his work, he called me excitedly to
show me that his “new windows” were actually the
original ones that had been sold off many years
before by a previous owner.
I doubt there are any signs now of the incredible
leiwater systems that used to flow towards the
house, and naturally, the grounds are somewhat
smaller than in the 1920s.
