Lawrence Green----Karoo

Probably Lawrence Green's most popular story was and still appears to be today,at least in my experience,  is "Karoo ",written in 1955, and reprinted almost 20 years later.
It tells the story of all the karoo regions of South Africa, the Great Karoo, Little Karoo and the far corners of the North West Cape and Namaqualand. He describes vividly these great spaces which exert such a peculiar spell over many who pass through them and which create impressions which strike answering chords in the hearts of all South Africans. He brings the empty spaces of the Karoo to life with tales of the Bushmen and the baboons,the springbok,  jackals and sheep; karoo mountains and rivers  and the people and great characters living in karoo solitudes.,
Lawrence Green had an international reputation,and as the London "Times" stated,'Affection for the out-of-the-way places is the secret of Mr.Green's success'
