1 y separately published work icon Letters to My Son Winifred James , London : Hodder and Stoughton , 1910 Z1059066 1910 single work prose 'These letters represent the intimacies of the household and a mother's solicitude for her son's welfare. She prefers that he live tenderly rather than dangerously ... Winifred James is neither a novelist nor an essayist, though in her imaginitive writings she shows traces of both. The 'first person' approach ... suits her genius more than does an objective presentation; she is fond of the role of preceptor.' (Morris Miller, Australian Literature, 1940)

1 y separately published work icon The Empire's Children John Finnemore , London : Chambers , 1906 Z1119129 1906 selected work children's fiction children's adventure Preface to the 1906 English version states: 'This book aims at giving sketches of youthful life in some of the great countries which constitute our world-wide Empire. In every case the sketch is thrown into the form of a story. Nothing makes a deeper impression on the young mind than that which pleases; and the story is more likely to please than the essay. As in every instance those described are our fellow-subjects, it is hoped that some impression will be given of the vast diversity of race and colour, of climate and custom, found beneath the British flag.' One section is about Australia.
