Australian Art

In A Story to Tell, Laurel Nannup brings to life a childhood in a large Aboriginal family. While her stories include time spent at the Wandering Mission, their main focus is on memories of family life-picnics, roaming through the bush, sharing campfire tales, and events such as buying a new dress and first communion. The collection is illustrated with Laurel's striking woodcuts and etchings, which, together with a selection of photographs, complement the warm and affectionate humor of her narrative.
