This book is a guided tour through the imaginative literature of Western Australia. It consists of a series of descriptive and critical surveys of the main forms of creative and critical writing, including letters, diaries and journals, the novel, the short story, poetry, drama, children's books, and literary journalism.

By focusing on the various forms of literary expression, the authors of these chapters have demonstrated change and development in literary endeavours in Western Australia since the early 19th century. (book flap)
