[There is the slightest possible pull-away of the endsheet front page only to the spine, but the binding is otherwise perfectly tight. There is a previous owner name in pen and a stamp but the pages are otherwise clean and bright. This copy comes with the original dust jacket which is worn at text block sides and there’s a slight knock to the hardcover, but this book is in very good condition.]

Description

Scotty Smith South Africa’s Robin Hood by F. C. Metrowich tells the remarkable true story of George St Leger Lennox, famously known as Scotty Smith, South Africa’s legendary Robin Hood. Born into a noble Scottish family in 1845, Scotty became infamous as a cattle thief, horse stealer, diamond smuggler, and highway robber—but always with a flair for outwitting authorities and helping the poor. Known for his clever disguises and audacious escapes, his exploits took him across the Kalahari, the diamond fields, and even into the service of the British government as an intelligence operative during wartime.

Metrowich vividly recounts the daring adventures, ingenious tricks, and larger-than-life personality of Scotty Smith, from outsmarting police to redistributing wealth in the classic Robin Hood tradition. Packed with historical context, thrilling anecdotes, and South Africa’s rich frontier backdrop, this book brings to life one of the most fascinating characters in the country’s history.

A compelling read for anyone intrigued by outlaws, history, or extraordinary real-life adventure.
