AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a notable play, "Early in the Morning," Ruth Park brings A.B.C. listeners a portrait of Abel Tasman, the man who rose from the gutters of Amsterdam to be master of a ship, yet who, through some lack in himself, could rise no higherr; the man who felt that he had failed in life, yet who has left his name writ large on the map of Australia.'
