Stannage's social history of Perth describes the experiences of several generations of migrant settlers in Swan River from 1829 onwards. It shows the people of all classes at work and play, buying and selling, praying, going out to school, raising families, founding institutions, making laws, and engaging in municipal and colonial politics. (inside cover)

The book when published, was controversial. Some Perth City Councillors and older Perth families were offended. (Deborah Gare and Jenny Gregory (ed.) Tom Stannage: History from the Other Side, 2015)
