Excerpt

"As a postscript to his biography of the South African poet Roy Campbell, Peter Alexander records a comment made by his widow Mary, many years after Campbell..."When the young Afrikaans poet Uys Krige came to visit the Campbells in Provence, he was invited to stay, and became a house guest for eight months, during which was given occasional small sums of money for teaching the Campbell children their letters."
