'The courtship of Andrew Jack, a steamship officer working in India and Ceylon, and Mary Travers, of a Tasmanian farming family, was recorded for posterity in a series of witty, touching and eloquent letters the pair exchanged between 1928 and 1931. These have been gathered in this volume along with historical notes by Mary's relatives and contemporary photographs reprinted from the original negatives for this book. This book gives a fascinating glimpse into another time and place and a timeless romance.' (Publisher's blurb)
