ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Originally written in the 1980s and thoroughly revised and updated, this is an excellent history primer aimed at primary ages, but readers of any age will find something of interest! It starts with ancient Australia and Aboriginal Australia, then colonial history split in twenty year segments from 1788 to the present. Topics are given a double page spread, and cover everything from individuals to institutions. The emphasis is on social history rather than facts-and-figures, and so is full of colourful stories, important concepts and narrative flair. It is abundantly and attractively illustrated with archival images, photographs and drawings. Highly recommended! Lindy
