The
Well at the World's End
AJ Mackinnon
When A.J.
Mackinnon quits his job in Australia, he knows only that he longs
to travel to the Well at the World's End, a mysterious pool on a
remote Scottish island whose waters, legend has it, hold the secret
to eternal youth. Determined not to fly ('It would feel like cheating'),
he sets out with a rucksack, some fireworks and a map of the world
and trusts chance to take care of the rest. From the author of the
highly recommended The
Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow.

Hawke:
The Prime Minister
Blanche d'Alpuget
Robert James Lee Hawke is one of the great men of
Australian public life. He agitated for social and economic reforms,
becoming a folk hero and the most popular Australian of his time.
He led the Labor Party to victory in the general election of March
1983 and, in winning three successive elections, became Australia's
longest-serving Labor Prime Minister. This biography takes us through
the successive governments until Hawke's resignation from Parliament
in February 1992, and beyond.
