AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'From the creator of CBCA award winning information book of the year A-Z of Convicts in Van Diemen's Land, comes another stunning historical account taking us back into our convict past. The year is 1821 when William Walker (better known in legend as William Swallow) lands on Tasmanian shores. Shipped from England as punishment for a series of crimes, what follows is an adventure that will bring William full circle as he tries to regain his freedom through trickery and escape; has a brief flirtation with life as a pirate on the Cyprus and cements himself as a legend in Australian history.'
