Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Uncommon fiction by the Australian author. From inner front flap of dustjacket: "A collection of army officers unable to find a future in England, sons of the gentry sent out to the Colony to be got rid of, peasants driven off the land in Ireland and Scotland, paupers from the slums of England, small farmers, merchants, sly-grog sellers, hunted Aborigines and oppressed convicts - these are the characters of 'House of Bondage'. The location is Australia, then a far-flung colony of England, a dusty, almost forgotten colony, where the unwanted, the hopeless and the useless were sent to work out their destiny". Printed in Australia. Dustjacket design by John Sands Art Studio. Bound in original black boards with bright gilt lettering to spine, in publisher's unclipped pictorial dustjacket. Slight shelfwear, former owner's ink name to ffep, otherwise a nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. 204pp. SB-54.
