Description

A Giant in Hiding

By Lawrence G Green [1970 – First Edition] Has dust cover

Lawrence tells the full life story of Frank Wightman, a very small man of brilliant intellect who sought a hiding-place away from the stares of the crowd.

It took Wightman many years to find his sanctuary on a South African lagoon. His previous adventures are vividly described but the main theme of this memorable book is his conquest of loneliness during more than twenty years alone aboard his little yawl Wylo.

Lawrence presents an epic of human endurance, a triumph of philosophy and the human spirit, taking you into a world of wildlife so real that every sound is heard, every scene rises before you.

Many readers may well form the opinion that Wightmans achievements surpassed those of Thoreau.
