1 42 y separately published work icon The Generations of Men Judith Wright , Melbourne : Oxford University Press , 1959 Z562146 1959 single work prose

'A beautifully written family history from Australia's best known poet. Judith Wright writes much more than a biography of her forebears in The Generations of Men. She has achieved a lyrical chronicle of an era in the life of a nation. In her elegant, subtle prose, Wright brings to life the hopes and aspirations of Australia's nineteenth-century migrants.'

-Note from 1995 edition.

In them, everyday life become involved with strange things and happenings. Magic comes creeping in when least expected; fairies and sprites appear; animals and objects indulge in conversations; dreams take the oddest turns. But, though there may be a friendly lion in a story, or a sea maid, or a flame fairy who can only speak in rhyme, in every case the central person is a normal Australian girl or boy.'

I Can Jump Puddles is Alan Marshall's story of his childhood, a happy world in which, despite his crippling poliomyelitis, he plays, climbs, fights, swims, rides and laughs. His world was the Australian countryside early last century: rough-riders, bushmen, farmers and tellers of tall stories, a world held precious by the young Alan Marshall. (Source: Trove)
