AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Ernest Favenc (1845-1908) is far better remebered as an historian, short story writer and explorer in northern and western Australia than as an author of a number of popular children's books.'
Notes
-
Favenc also wrote two school textbooks - The Geograpical Development of Australia: A Century of Progress 1788-1888 and The Physical Continent, with Illustrative Maps and Diagrams.
