Little Lon

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Little Lon scrapes back the layers of history to show how people lived and worked in a post-settlement Australian city. Behind the grand buildings of the big streets was Little Lon. A working-class district of little houses and narrow lanes, bursting with life and the stories of the people who lived there.

The poor of the time are not often celebrated in traditional histories, but Little Lon shows us something of the way people really lived.
