Originally published as a trilogy between 1917 and 1929. Henry Handel Richardson was the pseudonym used by Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson (3 January 1870 - 20 March 1946).

The Fortunes of Richard Mahony is Richardson's most important work, and Richard Mahony, a complex portrayal of Richardson's father, is the first substantial character in Australian fiction.

Richardson's brilliant analysis of human inadequacy, the gulf between the ideal and achievement, and of the complexities of circumstance, environment and human frailty make her one of Australia's most distinguished novelists.

In Australian Felix, the first volume in the trilogy, Mahony's history is closely interwoven with the history of the Ballarat gold rush. (back cover)
