S & B Stent, hardback, 1972.

Limited Edition, number 281 of 1000.

Vere Stent was a larger than life personality who made a dynamic impression on South African journalism from the early 1900's to his death in 1940.

This is a biography written by his daughters. It is extremely frank and none of their father's many eccentricities are disguised, or glossed over. Vere Stent emerges as a very forthright man indeed. A man with a zest for adventure who lived in remarkable times, which saw South African history in the making. The authors have rescued from oblivion his connections with famous people as diverse and fascinating as Smuts, Rhodes and the Matabele King Lobengula

Book is used, in very good condition.
