Book Description

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

Would you risk your life to save a stranger, follow the Pied Piper or boast about a 4800-kilometre trip in the wilds you never made? How would you react if a recluse moved next door, you got an exciting job that was taken away from you the moment it begins, or you woke up in another world where the laws you know don't apply?

These are some of the stories in this book about men, women and children who found themselves in trouble, one way or another, in Queensland's past, whether by choice, accident or through the grand schemes of others. They are all true and appear on a 'story map' of Queensland, which shows where each one happened.

Chosen from real-life experiences in Australia over two centuries of European settlement, these stories show a world that is long gone, as well as the human motives and sometimes comical way of behaving that are far from long gone. The people in them were either born in Queensland or came to Queensland from other parts of the world, such as Switzerland, Britain and Ireland.
