AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The story of Mat and Tim, twin brothers of gypsy origin, begins in the New Forest in England, where the boys are favourites of the local squire and are provided with an education as well as with training in the skills of hunting and gamekeeping. When they migrate to Australia, their ship is wrecked, and they enter into a period of "free captivity" with the Waigonda, a coastal clan of Aborigines' (Clare Bradford, 'Saved by the Word')
