Australian Writing

For older children and younger adults How Aus tralian Literature Grew is recom mended reading as a fascinating story of the beginnings and the growth of Australian writing, from the days of the convicts to the new novels of Patrick White.

No development of any con sequence appears to have been missed. The story is told as a whole, with Enid Moodie Heddle’s text generously illustra ted by Iris Millington’s draw ings. There is also a useful check list of Australian books.
