A wonderful collection of stories by one of our most successful authors. All of Jackie French′s books are in demand and this will be no exception. These stories give children an insight into Australian history and contemporary life in a very personalised way as they are drawn from Jackie′s own family histories and experiences; a grandmother who danced with Ben Hall, a true story of shipwreck survival and lots more.
