BiographyHistory

John Hetherington worked for several English and Australian newspapers, partly as a war correspondent during the Second World War where he served in Greece. His war experience is the topic of several of his books. He wrote a number of biographies (among them one on Dame Nellie Melba and two on Norman Lindsay and on Sir Thomas Blamey) and collective biographical studies of famous Australians. He also published histories of Victorian buildings and churches. Among his creative writings are some uncollected short stories and verse, and an account of his childhood at Sandringham, The Morning Was Shining (1971).
