A nice copy of this one-volume edition of Kingsley's classic novel, first published in three volumes in 1859. Two Devonshire county families come to Australia to seek their fortunes; bushrangers, natural disasters and cattle branding give drama to a story where the handsome men make perfect matches in marriage. Kingsley's depiction of a land of golden opportunity and rosy futures proved an excellent work of enticement for intending immigrants.
