Lady Bridget In The Never Never Land (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162670027)

Lady Bridget in the Never-Never Land is a novel by Rosa Praed, first published in 1915. The story is set in the Australian Outback in the early 20th century and follows the adventures of Lady Bridget, a young Englishwoman who travels to Australia to marry her fianc�����, Tom Prior. However, when she arrives, she finds that Tom has disappeared and is believed to have gone to the remote and dangerous region known as the Never-Never Land. Determined to find him, Lady Bridget sets out on a perilous journey through the harsh and unforgiving landscape, accompanied by a group of eccentric characters, including a bushman, a missionary, and a half-caste girl. Along the way, she encounters various challenges and dangers, including hostile Aboriginal tribes, treacherous terrain, and extreme weather conditions. As Lady Bridget continues her search for Tom, she also begins to question her own beliefs and values, and develops a deeper understanding of the complexities of life in the Australian Outback. Ultimately, she discovers that the Never-Never Land is not just a physical place, but also a state of mind, and that her journey has led her to a greater sense of self-awareness and personal growth. Lady Bridget in the Never-Never Land is a vivid and engaging portrayal of life in the Australian Outback, and a compelling exploration of themes such as love, identity, and cultural difference. Praed's writing is richly descriptive and evocative, capturing the beauty and harshness of the landscape, as well as the diverse range of characters who inhabit it. The novel has been praised for its authenticity and for its portrayal of the complex relationships between settlers and Indigenous Australians during a tumultuous period in Australian history.If purgatory could hold worse torture than life held on that last evening Lady Bridget spent at Moongarr, then neither she nor her husband would have been required to do any long expiation there. It would be difficult to say which of the two suffered the most. Probably McKeith, because he was the strongest. Equally, he showed it the least when the breaking moment had passed. Yet both husband and wife seemed to have covered their faces, hearts and souls with unrevealing masks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
