Scope and content
Alan Hill (1912-1993) was the founding architect of Heinemann Educational Books (HEB). He particularly wanted to be remembered as the man who started the African Writers Series. Although he was Managing Director of the Heinemann Group, there was a clear distinction between his running of HEB and CP’s running of William Heinemann.
