About This Item
Canberra: Mulini Press, 1995. New ed.. Paperback large octavo, very good condition, frontispiece, minor edgewear. 152 pp. These 11 short stories by Mary Vidal were first published in 1845, and the current 1995 version is based on the fifth edition (perhaps 5th printing). Several of the stories are in two parts. The characters are drawn from people that Mary met in her life in Australia as the wife of a clergyman. The stories promote Christian duty among the lower classes. They depict a picture of life in Sydney not found in other stories simply because they are based on working class people, their lifestyles and their character. These tales are an important contribution to the literature of early Australia. (No 13 in the Australian Books on Demand series, from Mulini Press.).
