A fascinating biography of one of Zimbabwe's most controversial educational pioneers.

We  have a large selection of Rhodesiana as my mother - Lynne Ruth Robertson Greeff - was an avid collector of Rhodesiana. She was born (1935) and grew up in Bulawayo as part of the large John MacDonald Family Clan. Her brother, John MacDonald Robertson, was a well-known Harare economist.  When she was 23 she visited Cape Town and met my father. She grew to love Cape Town but was forever homesick for the bushhveld. Inheriting her collection of 3000+ Africana books is what started my adventure as a book dealer.
