AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A story of post-war farming life in the mallee country of Victoria by one who knows the life intimately and describes it with exceptional literary skill. (Publisher's blurb). Green Mallee, 1932, is a chronicle of the daily life of a group of wheat-farmers in north-western Victoria who, though scarcely of average intelligence, struggle against many adversities. It combines selected sketches of farm and home doings with descriptions of natural features. (E. Morris Miller Australian Literature From Its Beginnings to 1935 (1940): 786).
