1 y separately published work icon Tumbler Liz Filleul , Susan Field (illustrator), Oxford : Lion , 2001 10441118 2001 single work picture book children's

'Tristan the Tumbler is a master of his art, but he doubts that being an acrobat is a talent worthy of God. Instead he decides to become a monk and devote himself to good works for the poor. It soon becomes apparent that this is not his calling - he finds it difficult to keep to the routine and rules of monastery life. Realising that tumbling is the best he can offer God, Tristan creeps into the chapel one night and gives his best peformance ever. An angelic visitor confirms that Tristan's gift is pleasing to God, and the tumbler joyfully realises that he can glorify God in his work as an acrobat.'

'Australian teenager, Jaime Richards, was back on holidays in the Pakistan she grew up in. The old world charm was still there - the villages, the bazaars and the mysterious rugs - but the barrel of a Kalashnikov changed it all.'

'Taken at gunpoint beyond the ancient Khyber Pass, Jaime and her friends were to be caught up in a shadowy secret world of intrigue and terrorism. Would they escape the Mujahadeen, fighting their holy war? And what of Jasper's own struggles within?

'For Jaime, this trip was to prove painful enough to change her life forever, yet also it was to prove strangely rewarding'. (Source: back cover.)

'Spanning the century from 1830 to the First World War and the Great Depression comes this dramatic story of three generations of Australian women.

'Here is the stuff of real history – a giant canvas depicting the rich and varied lives of those who, despite great obstacles, turned survival into courage, sadness into contentment and confusion into certainty.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon Currency Lass : The Moving Story of a Young Woman in the Convict Town of Sydney and the South Seas Margaret Reeson , Sutherland : Albatross Books , 1985 Z140427 1985 single work novel historical fiction 'Life in the convict colony of New South Wales was harsh and often cruel. But for free-settlers like the Hassalls, Sydney was home. As one of the few eligible Australian-born girls, Mary Hassall was much admired. This recreation of her life from contemporary letters and diaries vividly portrays her emerging adulthood, romance and life in Sydney and on the primitive islands of Tonga. What emerges is a story of raw courage and perseverance, hope and disappointment – giving intimate insight into a vital personality that still speaks to us today.' (Publication summary)
2 6 y separately published work icon Me and Jeshua Eleanor Spence , Melbourne : Dove , 1984 Z913556 1984 single work children's fiction children's

'Jude tells the story of his cousin Jeshua and his family. With Jude, readers will find themselves drawn to Jeshua and caught up in the mystery that surrounds him—about his birth, about his “real” father, and about his future. Like Jude, readers will gradually begin to understand something of Jeshua’s secret.

'“Me and Jeshua” is the story of Jesus’ boyhood. It is attractive and compelling, a robust story full of insight, humor, and vigor. Yet it remains wholly true to what we know of Jesus and his times.'
