'Initially their works were inspired by the new land itself, and later they had to grapple with issues raised by the convict past, changing gender roles, and upheavals caused by the undermining of Old World certainties. Their efforts produced a literature of astonishing breadth and interest, which has remained too long unknown, or at best only partly known, even in the land of its origin. This collection brings together familiar and recently rediscovered works, and provides contexts in which we can see them anew. The result is exciting and compelling reading.', Ex-Library

754 pages with monochrome photographic illustrations. 730 grams. This book is in very good unmarked condition. 'The traditional image of a prisoner of war is that of an emaciated, diseased and ill-treated figure humiliated by incarceration. Prisoners Of War challenges this image. Using dozens of interviews with gormer POWs, Patsy Adam-Smith shows the strength and courage of Australians taken prisoner in World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Says Patsy: "This book has not been written for ex-prisoners: they know the homesickness of exile, the tyranny of bondage; it was written for those people of today who know little of the experiences of these men and women, of their courage, endurance and pain. It has been written for the generations to ... Show Complete Entry

Very little of this is, however, at all comprehensible to anyone below the level of Advanced God, and since it is now well-established that all known gods came into existence a good three millionths of a second after the Universe began rather than, as they usually claimed, the previous week, they already have a great deal of explaining to do as it is, and are therefore not available for comment at this time...MOSTLY HARMLESS: THE HITCH HIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY PART FIVE.

This time it was right, it would work, and no-one would have to get nailed to anything. Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace by-pass, and so the idea was lost forever.

Our job, as we see it, is to get these words down off the signposts and into the mouths of babes and sucklings and son on, where thay can start earning their keep in everyday conversation and make a more positive contribution to society.'

Not so in the cse of The Silence Of Herondale.
