Social Sketches of Australia by Humphrey McQueen

Book Description

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

This book focuses on the ordinary lives of people from 1888 to 1990. Through little-known accounts from regional histories, pen portraits, anecdotes, diaries and photographs, McQueen conveys the wide variety of everyday life - what people wore, ate, what sort of houses they lived in and how they were affected by bushfires, disease and working conditions.
