About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 2000. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good plus condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear. 373 pp. To celebrate 100 years of the Australian nation, Phillip Knightley chronicles the history of Australia from its use as a settlement for English prisoners to the present. Part history, part travelogue, part memoir - this book tells the inspiring story of how a one-time British colony with only two sorts of citizens, convicts and goalers, turned itself into a proud, prosperous and confident country. He includes discussion of relations between Aborigines and European settlers, and the growing division between Australia and England. (First edition, Australian printing.).
