Mucking About: An Autobiography by Paul Hasluck

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Faint mark on right foredge. Dust jacket has wear to edges with small tears to top and tail front cover. Now enclosed in protective cover. Interior and binding are still very good.

Mucking About is a portrait of childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, and of a bygone era of Western Australian society, rendered with affection and humour.

Hasluck writes, choosing to weave his memoirs around the happy years of mucking about with journalism, sport, university studies, local history, literature, travelling and anthropology.

According to the National Library, this memoir includes an account of Hasluck's interest in Aborigines, his writing of WA Aboriginal/white history and his role in the Moseley Royal Commission in the Kimberley's in 1934.
