About This Item
Sydney: Allen & Unwin / History Institute of Victoria, 1992. Paperback small quarto, very good condition, black & white text-photos, spine faintly faded, minor edgewear. 167 pp. A. B. Facey wrote the bestselling "A Fortunate Life". Discusses Facey's world, starting from what he tells us in his book. Uncovers his (unrevealed) family history. The world in which Facey grew up - among farmers, workers and miners - is the same world described in Henry Lawson's stories. This book brings these two famous authors together in a novel way. After each chapter on Facey and his times there is a Lawson story on the same theme. It is an evocative exploration of Australia's social history.
