The Confessions of a Beachcomber (Australian Classics) by E J Banfield

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to top foredge. Pages are sunned. Dust jacket has creasing at edges.

One of the early seekers of an “alternative lifestyle”, Banfield, accompanied by his wife, retired from the complexities of town life for the simple life on Dunk Island, an uninhabited island off the coast of northern Queensland.

The Confessions of a Beachcomber is a description of life on a real tropical island, where romance and reality meet and blend. Its publication in 1908 caused a great stir and is now considered a classic of Australian natural history.
