Additional Information

Sally in Rhodesia which originated as a series of letters written by a young bride in Rhodesia to her mother overseas, between 1907 and 1912, tells in a charming conversational style of the rigours of domestic life in Salis-bury, the raising of her young family, the social life of the day, and of the pursuits of husband Toby.

Her delightful humour ripples through the book and is at its best when she recounts how she is called to cope with the culinary capers of inexperienced domestics. The original book ran to many editions in the United Kingdom and Australia and became something of a Rhodesian institution and a classic on the family life of the settler.

Sally (nee Sheila Mackenzie) was born in New Zealand where she spent some time on a sheep station. After the death of her first husband, Toby Macdonald, in 1924 she left Rhodesia and took her children to Britain where she engaged in writing. She has some eight published books to her credit.

In 1933 she married Mr. Frederick Moore and after the outbreak of World War II they lived in Tanganyika and Kenya, later moving to South Africa. Sally, now a great-grandmother, has retired to Cape Town.
