About This Item
McPhee Gribble Publishers, Australia, 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. Inscribed by Author. On the southern edge of the Domain, that little patch of Melbourne that is forever England, stands Melbourne Church of England Grammar School, its milieu dominated by the offices of British Petroleum, the elegant white tower of Government House, and the massive Graeco-Chaldean ziggurat of the Shrine of Remembrance. For one hundred and thirty years Melbourne Grammar has been the training ground for many of the nations gentlemen. It has provided rites of passage for homesick boys who have learned the decencies of social behaviour on the football ground, in the dining room, in the showers, under the dangerous glances of the East, the schools secret police. It was here the young Chester Eagle came in the late forties from his parents farm near Finley, lovingly detailed in Mapping the Paddocks, to the alien, claustrophobic world of boarding school. Venerable in local time, the buildings of Melbourne Grammar have echoed to shouts, groans, laughter; to interrogation and exhortation; to chants, lectures, hymns and prayers. Here are those echoes. 151 pages. Light foxing to outer page edges. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
