My Relations

Description

In 1929, an eight-year-old child, who had very few relations, imagined an assortment of eccentric aunts, uncles and cousins. She wrote and illustrated a little book about them, which her grandmother kept.

Now, nearly 90 years later, this whimsical and oddly touching collection from an iconic Australian author sees the light of day. Complete with original illustrations and some facsimile pages, Robin Dalton's My Relations is a perfect gift for your own.
