A must-read memoir for fans of Australian literary and art history, written by Picnic at Hanging Rock author Joan Lindsay, joins the Text Classics series.
Joan Lindsay was born in Melbourne in 1896. Originally trained as a visual artist, she turned to writing after her marriage to Sir Daryl Lindsay in 1922. Her first novel, Through Darkest Pondelayo (1936), was a parody of popular travel books. Her second, Time Without Clocks, wasn’t published until nearly thirty years later; her most famous, Picnic at Hanging Rock, was released in 1967 and made into a film in 1975. She died in 1984.
'Sharp and witty, Joan’s biography is no less elegantly written
than Picnic at Hanging Rock.’
