Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In EDITH WHARTON ABROAD, Sarah Bird Wright has carefully chosen selections from Edith Wharton's travel writing that convey the writer's control of her craft.

This collection spans a period of three decades and takes the reader with Wharton from France to Italy and to Greece. Included is an excerpt from her unpublished memoir, THE CRUISE OF THE VANDIS, as well as front line depictions of Lorraine and the Vosges during World War I.…

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Age range 9 to 12During WWII after the Japanese invasion of Java, more than 1000 refugees from the Dutch East Indies, many in flying boats, passed through Broome, which was a major refuelling point and a significant Allied military base. On 3 March 1942 Broome was attacked by Japanese fighter planes, killing at least 88 civilians and Allied military personnel.Charlie's Swim is based on the true story of the author's Uncle Charlie (Charles D'Antoine) who was working inside a flying boat when the attack began. In the midst of flying bullets, blazing fires and sharks, Charlie saw a woman and child desperately trying to keep afloat and without hesitation went to their rescue.In 1944, Charlie was awarded a Certificate of Merit from the Royal Humane Society of Australasia in recognition of his efforts and he was awarded four medals for bravery from the Dutch government. It took a further 80 years for the Australian government and military to formally recognise this bravery.'One morning Charlie was working inside a seaplane. He suddenly heard planes flying overhead, and they seemed incredibly low. Charlie went outside. When he looked up he saw enemy planes swooping towards the bay.'

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Edith Wright grew up listening to stories about her great-grandfathers, Harry Hunter and Adrien D Antoine, two white men from Europe came to rule the pearling industry at its peak in northwest Australia. Between then, they changed the social and cultural fabric of the Kimberley region for generations to come, fathering many mixed-race children and gaining reputations for violent and exploitative behaviour towards Bardi Jawi people. These two men and their Aboriginal children lived complicated, difficult lives during an era of intense surveillance and social control of Aboriginal people in Western Australia.The Blessing and the Burden gives a rare insight into the cosmopolitan hub of Broome during the heyday of the pearling and boat-building industries. Using eyewitness accounts and archival records, it describes the bombing of Broome in World War II, the impact of leprosy and the Bungarun leprosarium in Derby, and the rapid development of the infrastructure of the north from the perspective of a descendant of a complex legacy. Edith confronts the painful and challenging histories of her family and of two white men who changed the face of the Kimberley forever.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. BERT, George; BRITTON, Charles; and WRIGHT, Lawrence. She Was an Angel of Mercy. A Tribute to the Memory of Nurse Cavell. Song and Recitation. London: The Lawrence Wright Music Co., 1915. Original pictorial sheet music, 4 pp., with photographic portrait of Edith Cavell to the front wrapper, words by George Bert and Charles Britton, music by Lawrence Wright, and a recitation following the song. A worn but complete copy. Toning and handling wear throughout, with staining and marking, creasing, numerous short tears and chips to the edges, including areas of loss, and splitting and small losses along the central fold. Further closed tears and weakness to the paper, particularly towards the lower margins and corners. The printing and text remain substantially unaffected and entirely legible. Good condition only, but a scarce survival of an ephemeral First World War publication. A contemporary musical tribute to the British nurse Edith Cavell (1865-1915), published in the immediate aftermath of her execution by German firing squad in occupied Brussels on 12 October 1915. Cavell had helped Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium and rapidly became one of the most celebrated British martyrs of the First World War. The song describes her as "one of the Red Cross Band" and urges that "the mem'ry must not die", while the accompanying recitation explicitly presents Cavell as a martyr whose name would live on. The front wrapper states that the publishers were devoting half the profits from the first 10,000 copies sold to the Cavell Memorial Fund. Copyright dated MCMXV. An uncommon piece of contemporary Cavell and First World War ephemera: I can trace a copy in the British Library, but no copies currently offered in commerce.…
