Pilgrimage: A Journey Through the Life and Writings of Mary Durack edited by Patsy Millet and Naomi Millett

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned. Body text and binding are still very good.

Pilgrimage is an unforgettable journey through the vibrant landscape and life of Mary Durack, from her early writings in the 1930s through to the mid-1980s.

Though best known for two family histories that have become literary classics, Kings in Grass Castles and Sons in the Saddle, Mary Durack's great talent extended to fiction, short stories, drama and verse.

This long-awaited collection of her favourite works, including material never before published, provides a rare glimpse into Mary's extraordinary experiences, from her Kimberley days on the family properties and her time with her own family in Broome, to her city home in Perth.

Mary writes with insight, compassion, and humour about outback legends and the many bush characters she knew and loved - of their far-reaching wisdom and struggle to adapt to a changing land. (back cover)
