Rhodesian Adventure

by Mollie Chappell

"The telegram! It’s come! We’re going ----" Actually going to Rhodesia! Lyn, Jane, Patrick and Mummy. An English family lifting their roots and embarking on the great adventure of beginning a new life in a new country - Rhodesia. Jane looks forward eagerly to learning a new way of life - to the glamour of encountering fresh scenes and new people. Lyn is not so sure. Secretly she clings to the old country - to familiar, well-loved things. This is the story of her struggle to adjust herself - to accept and adopt a new and entirely different way of life.
Mollie Chappell is an interesting new author in the field of girls’ books. Her fresh and vivid style and her genuine understanding and portrayal of "teen-age" girls, will not fail to charm modern readers who like their heroines to be as completely twentieth century as themselves.
The illustrations are by Gilbert Dunlop, who truly catches the spirit of this entrancing book - a first book which we hope is the herald of many more from the same gifted pen.
