AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Joe Harman lives a carefree life in London, in contradiction to his family's pious Christian ways. When he foolishly befriends a rascal and is accused of theft, he travels to Australia for some respite. He learns the error of his ways and returns to London as a prodigal son.

Notes

  • Marcie Muir's Australian Children's Books (1992: 366) notes: 'In Ch.10 the hero decides to go to Australia, and the next four chapters are set in Australia and on the voyage out.'
