Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Lyle Courtney, the youngest of eight siblings, was born into a comparatively well-off family in Maryborough, a Victorian goldfields town, during The Great Depression.

His mother died three weeks after he was born. When Lyle was five, the family lost their house, causing their father to throw convention to the wind and retreat with the children and their aunt to a tent camp in the bush.

Set against an ever-changing background of nature's beauty, wonders and vagaries, Our Houseless Home is a warts and all narrative portraying the challenging and whimsical lifestyle of a poverty-stricken family making do in those hard times. (back cover)
