AbstractHistoryArchive Description

These prize-winning stories from Graham Sheil have an awesome scope. The fire-bombing of Dresden, Lasseter's gold, Bali, the huge struggles of ordinary people, the Aborigines, the dispossessed of Europe: all are the subjects of this marvellous teller of stories. (Publisher's blurb, back cover).

Notes

  • Epigraph: You cannot build bridges between the wandering islands The Mind has no neighbours, and the unteachable heart Announces its armistice time after time, but spends Its love to draw them closer and closer apart. A. D. Hope Wandering Islands
