Notes

Comprised of thematically related short stories, John Douglas Pringle states that At Parramatta 'is not quite a collection of short stories and not quite a novel. All the stories are set in or near Parramatta at the time of the Crimean War and the same characters appear in each. Though each story stands on its own, there is some development both of character and plot.' (Source: 'Foreword', The Best of Ethel Anderson, 1973)
