'This book follows her journey from a society literally at the end of the world to its very centre – London, Paris and Rome. It is lavishly illustrated with more than 200 examples of her work: drawings, watercolours, oils and prints.
'While the heroine of this book is Lily, it also offers portraits in miniature of other members of her interesting family, whose impact of Tasmanian life continues today with the Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts. It draws on existing and new research to create a picture of the artist and to give her a well-deserved place in the record of Tasmania and Australian artistic endeavour.
'Above all, it is a tribute to Lily’s considerable talent and determination to live her own life.'
