Lawrence ("Laurie") Green was a South African journalist and author.He wrote for the layman and although his work is well grounded in history and fact he viewed reading (his books) as entertainment. Like many non-fiction popular authors he had a large general readership and his role as recorder of little remembered facts of cultural or historic significance ,in the southern African context, gives his work a timeless quality.
