In the 1920s Stewart Gore-Brown built a feudal paradise in a remote corner of Northern Rhodesia complete with uniformed servants and port after dinner. He loved and idealised three women: Edith, his Aunt, twenty years older, Lorna who he wanted to marry and her daughter, also called Lorna, who became his wife. Champion of black Rhodesians, friend of Welensky and Kaunda, he played an influential role in the country's politics. This is his extraordinary story.
