Some Information About Lawrence G Green

I will not attempt to write a biography of Lawrence Green as this has already been very well done by  John Yates Benyon in his " Memories of a Friendship" but by way of an introduction I will set an outline of the man and his many books that will I hope assist the reader.
Born at the turn of the 19th Century he saw service in both World Wars,the latter of which created a gap of 6 years in his writing which commenced in 1933 with his first book "The Coast of Treasure" and resumed in 1945 with"Where Men Still Dream".His last book "When the Journey is Over" was published in 1972,shortly before his death. It has been said that no writer captured the atmosphere of the past and present of South Africa over these years as Lawrence Green.He travelled widely throughout Southern Africa and overseas in his capacity as travel writer and journalist, researching and recording his subjects writing virtually a book every year.His books were acclaimed world-wide and to this day are still sought after and collected, particularly the pre-war books, most of which have now been reprinted.
To assist you I am listing in chronological order the 33 books he wrote together with the two which were translated into Afrikaans.
Over the next few weeks I will try and detail each book with a brief summary of the main topic,although many of them appear in my web site,with some information.www.dougfindsbooks.com. under Africana- Lawrence Green.
