Description
A pilot dueling with an eagle; an old woman refusing to flee from bomb-ravaged Darwin; Kaijak the Songman - these are some of the many people that Xavier Herbert brings to life in his tales of Australia's North, from Cairns to Cape York. Ranging in time from early pioneer days to the present, Larger Than Life is a masterly and compelling collection.
