AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Brennan relates the story of Dora Doran, who leaves her parents in the 1850s to migrate to Australia. She obtains a position on the goldfields, where she is well-respected. One morning she is returning from an errand when she meets a mysterious figure who claims to be her 'guardian King'. Various adventures befall her, but in the end her piety is rewarded, much to Brennan's approval.
