About this product

Product Information

In Tasmania on holiday, novelist and Chatwin biographer Nicholas Shakespeare discovered a house on a 9-mile beach and instantly decided this was where he wanted to live. He didn t know then that his ancestor was the corrupt and colourful Anthony Fenn Kemp, now known as the Father of Tasmania , or that he would find relatives living on the island. Shakespeare interweaves his personal journey into a new-found paradise with a brilliant account of the two turbulent centuries of Tasmania s history in this fascinating and timely book. A delightful book. Nicholas Shakespeare is a fine story teller and here he unveils for us a compendium of fascinating Tasmanian characters past and present, from bankrupt squires to convict cannibals, from love struck romantics to the captivating monstrous Anthony Fenn Kemp, the Flashman of early colonial Australia. From all these lives Shakespeare builds up a rich and powerful portrait of this intriguing land, his adopted home. Matthew Kneale

    This item (book) was sent in a trackable large envelope but not one of my three emails asking for a tracking number was answered. Although the book is in good condition, it was also described as being 'signed by the author': it is not. It arrived today, the latest date suggested, nine days after purchase. I shall not be using this seller again.

    Thanks for the book. Finally arrived today! Took a month from order, partly because seller was away till the 30th April, took another few days to post, then the good old Aussie post took 2 weeks more. Did email seller to let them know it still hadn't arrived and would leave feedback when it did. No response.
