'In A Story to Tell, artist Laurel Nannup brings to life her childhood in a large Aboriginal family.
'While her stories include a time spent at the Wandering Mission, their main focus is on memories of family life: picnics, roaming through the bush, sharing campfire tales, and events such as buying a new dress and her First Communion.
'A Story to Tell is illustrated with Laurel's striking woodcuts and etchings, which, together with a selection of photographs, complement the warm and affectionate humour of her story.' (Publication summary)
'A Story to Tell stands out among the body of work in the Indigenous life history genre. This small hardback publication is collection of short vignettes about Laurel Nannup’s personal life that illuminate a sense of her own community, and that of a generation of Nyungars in the southwest of Western Australia.'
