Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has light creasing near spine top. Minor small marks on top foredge. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Thelma Atkins was born near Quindanning in 1914, the third daughter of a farmer. The family farm was on the Coolakin Gully. While her father battled for twenty-six years to realise his dream of being a gentleman farmer, Thelma was coming to terms with being a failure as a country girl.

A memoir told with great charm and simplicity. Without bitterness or mawkish sentimentality, Thelma recalls a childhood that has now become part of our history.
