AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Growing Up Walgett is easy to read, with just over 85 pages of large print. It is a book which grew out of students' letters to their non-Aboriginal teacher, Cilka Zagar, to combat her boredom during the long daily bus ride home from school. A reader's interest is piqued by the colourful cover illustration of scenes of Walgett and by the photographs of people interspersed in the 35 page Foreword and Introduction. Interest continues to be drawn by the characters of the lead-in photographs of the 20 teenagers and young adults whose personal statements make up the remaining 54 page body of the book. There is no disappointment as the reader browses on, for the prose of the pieces lives up to the presentation.' (Introduction)
