AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mrs Walter Keigwin's (Kitty Shannon) autobiography, For My Children,...has won an instant success. It is written in an unaffected, wholesome, hearty, generous manner. Mrs Keigwin lived for over a year at Bellevue Hill, Sydney, so there is an ample chapter on Australia.' The varied content of her 'book ranges from...an Australian bush fire to a Whoopee party in Mayfair'. The vivid spaciousness of the author comes out of the pages...Quite a book to read.' (Source: The Home, August 1933)
