This book tells "the story of the short and joyous life of Robert Godefroy ("Tito ") Harvey born 31st August, 1884. died 21st May, 1895", for whom the white marble tomb in Harberton churchyard was built.

Sir Robert Harvey purchased Dundridge in the Spring of 1890. The book incidentally tells how Robert Harvey had electric lighting installed throughout Dundridge shortly before Easter 1894. A building alongside the stables is shown as "The Engine House" on an old plan.
