VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Dark-blue cloth-bound boards with white type to spine, illustrated endpapers, photographic frontispiece, illustrated title-page, 74 full-colour photographs. The one real literary champion of Australia's tropical north - that flamboyant, isolated, nature-land - was 'Ted' Banfield, a journalist who fled to a subsistence life on Dunk Island and wrote about the abundant nature of his beloved isle for twenty years. 'Beachcomer's Paradise' is a fresh selection of extracts from his works, complimented by superb photographs by some of Australia's leading nature & landscape photographers. A stunningly joyous experience.
