BRUNTON, Paul (editor): Personal Letters from an extraordinary life. Hordern House for the State Library of New South Wales Sydney, 2002.
The life of Matthew Flinders was indeed an extraordinary one. In just twenty-three years, from 1791 to his death at the age of forty in 1814, Flinders served under William Bligh in the famous breadfruit expedition to Jamaica; fought in a celebrated battle against the French; discovered Bass Strait and charted Tasmania; circumnavigated the Australian continent; was shipwrecked and detained for six years at Mauritius; and wrote one of the legendary books of Australian navigation.<br><br>This beautifully-illustrated publication offers the reader a selection of over one hundred of Flinders' letters which document his life's great achievements. A major highlight is the historically significant letter to Sir Joseph Banks, volunteering for the formidable task of completing the discovery of New Holland. Also published here for the first time is a recently-discovered letter from Flinders to George Bass, which throws new light on their intimate relationship.
Octavo, 272 pp., 19 colour illustrations; bound in burgundy cloth with colour illustrated boards and a silk book ribbon.

Nicholas Shakespeare: In Tasmania Adventures at the End of the World, VINTAGE, ISBN: 0099466082
Weaves the history of this island with stories featuring a cast of characters from Errol Flynn to the King of Iceland, a village full of Chat wins and, a family of Shakespeare's. What makes this more than a personal quest is Shakespeare's discovery that, despite the nineteen century purges, the Tasmanian Aborigines were not, entirely wiped out.
