A hardcover copy of A History of Australia by Marjorie Barnard, published by Angus & Robertson in 1962 as part of their "Australian Classics" series.
Barnard is a genuinely significant figure in Australian letters — a Medal of the Order of Australia recipient and one half of the acclaimed "M. Barnard Eldershaw" writing duo. The subject matter (a full narrative history of Australia from settlement onward) has broad, durable appeal to local history buyers and collectors of Australiana.
