Description:
In the late 1800s, rather than run the risk of his under-achieving sons tarnishing his reputation at home, Charles Dickens sent two of them to Australia.
The tenth child of Charles Dickens, Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens, known as Plorn, had consistently proved unable â€to apply himself’ to school or life. So aged 16, he is sent, as his brother Alfred was before him, to Australia.
Plorn arrives in Melbourne in late 1868 carrying a terrible secret. He has never read a word of his father’s work. He is sent out to a two-thousand-square-mile station in remotest New South Wales to learn to become a man from the most diverse and toughest of companions.
Plorn, unexpectedly, encounters the same veneration of his father and familiarity with Dickens’s work in Australia as was rampant in England. Against this backdrop – featuring cricket tournaments, horse-racing, bush rangers, sheep droving, shifty stock and station agents, frontier wars and first encounters with Australian women – Plorn meets extraordinary people and wonderful adventures as he works to prove himself.
This is Tom Keneally in his most familiar terrain. Taking historical figures and events and reimagining them with verve, compassion and humour.
