AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The trial and execution of an eleven-year-old Australian boy for espionage in World War Two doesn’t seem like the sort of story anyone could easily forget. As a nation, though, we have not only forgotten the story of Dickie Manson but have a broader blind spot when it comes to Australia’s shared history with Papua New Guinea. PNG’s history and culture remain what they have always been to most Australians: overlooked and often misunderstood.' (Publication abstract)

    'In its 90th year the Fryer Library continues to grow as a bountiful resource. From the time of the first volumes on Australian literature collected by Dr Frederick Robinson in memory of John Denis Fryer, the Library’s development has been a labour of love. Over the years, this endeavour has been generously aided by loyal supporters, particularly the wonderful Friends of Fryer who have defended, built and promoted the collection’s value.' (Introduction, Simon Farley : Fryer Librarian)
