Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

The Tasmania We Love takes us on an enchanting journey around Australia's island state

Written by internationally-renowned author, Ruth Park, and illustrated by Cedric Emanuel, one of Australia's most popular landscape artists, The Tasmania We Love is both immensely readable and a delightful pictorial record of Tasmania.

It is a very personal book. Guided by their sense of history and enjoyment, Ruth Park and Cedric Emanuel visited p!aces of historical importance and places of beauty. In their evocative styles, they share with us their experiences.

We are taken back to the early days of white settlement and the experiences of the convicts and first settlers. We visit historic sites such as Port Arthur, and explore Hobart, Launceston and many smaller towns.

We admire the architecture of the times and visit old homesteads and other historic buildings. As we go, we travel through
areas of rolling pasture, pretty seaside towns, and places of wilderness, rugged coastlines and mountains.

Ruth Park's enthusiasm and Cedric Emanuel's charming drawings and paintings together create a book that truly succeeds in evoking the history and beauty of Tasmania.
