Henry Handel Richardson (1870-1946), author of Maurice Guest, The Getting of Wisdom, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony, The Young Cosima and other short stories, was the first Australian-born novelist to gain a reputation overseas and be translated into a number of European languages. This book draws on previously untapped sources to describe the early years of one of Australia's most remarkable novelists. (back cover)
