A One-sided War, Bruce Beresford , single work review
— Review of Breaker Morant Peter FitzSimons , 2020 single work biography ;

'Peter FitzSimons’s new book on Breaker Morant is full of surprises, writes Bruce Beresford As a teenager in the 1950s, I remember reading a number of books by Ion Idriess, who, along with Frank Clune, was one of the two writers that concentrated on Australian characters and Australian history. Nonfiction books such as The Cattle King, The Drums of Mer and Lasseter’s Last Ride were exciting tales about my own country and made me realise that films could be made — one day — that told Australian stories.'

— Review of Hollowpox : The Hunt for Morrigan Crow Jessica Townsend , 2020 single work children's fiction ;

'Nan Shepherd was a teacher and writer of mid-century Scotland who attained posthumous fame when her brief account of a lifetime spent walking the Cairngorm Mountains was republished in 2011. Her book, The Living Mountain, deserved its belated accolades. It was heady, concentrated stuff, the literary equivalent of an aged single malt.'  (Introduction)

Sometimes the Twain Shall Meet, Sarah Holland-Batt , single work column
