'Books from our Backyard: Must-Read Books from Queensland features 100 books all of which are written or illustrated by Queenslanders. Whether they are set in inner-city Brisbane, on the radiant Queensland beaches, the harsh outback stations, on Aboriginal missions, or indeed in overseas or universal locations, all of these stories reflect aspects of this state and its people. The depth and range of writing coming out of Queensland is impressive and truly represents the diversity of our culture.' (Source: Introduction)
